GUM Department store in Moscow's Red Square

Such a beautiful building, full of over priced goods!
I have many reflections regarding my stay in Russia.
Many stereotypes have been eradicated and I am afraid some have been confirmed.
Including 'Dancing Bears', I could hardly look!
The Pushkin Museum of fine art was very interesting with sculptures from Michaelangelgo and paintings from Rembrant and Rubins, stunning!
The jewel in the crown so far has been the amazing 'Russian Museum of the Revolution'.
Very educational and also lots of memorabillia from my childhood including excellent examples of Communist propaganda.
