The station features white marble columns decorated with brass insertions based on the Pushkin’s works. The station hall is illuminated by splendid lamps. The floor is paved with grey granite.
The south end of the central station hall contained a bust of A.Pushkin (sculptor M.Shmakov), but it was put in the transfer hall when the second exit, linking the station with Chekhovskaya on the Serpukhovsko-Timiryazevskaya line was opened in 1987.
A passageway from Pushkinskaya to Tverskaya of the Zamoskvoretskaya line was opened in 1979. The escalators in the north end of the station central hall lead to the joint underground vestibule with Tverskaya station and then to Izvestia publishing house and subways under Pushkinskaya square.
Exit to: Tverskaya ulitsa and Pushkinskaya ploshchad.
