GUM

Pronounced GOOM, GUM is an acronym for government department store. This is the famous store going way back in Russia. Today it isn't really a department store in the sense we use the term. It is really a mall containing many shops, mostly high end, international brands. The building is 3 parallel corridors with 3 stories each, all interconnected. The first pic gives you a sense of the scale of the building. The second shows the main entrance with GUM in Cyrillic Characters. The others give a sense of the interior and the skylights.Baca lagi
