Department Store shopping in Moscow

    Detsky Mir

    At the time of writing Children’s World was closed for a complex and highly controversial renovation project. Developers have promised not to alter the building’s art deco exterior, which is considered a Moscow landmark. But the interior will be completely revamped, with the addition of underground parking, an internal atrium, a multiplex cinema and a family-focused entertainment zone. Stay tuned.

    TsUM

    TsUM stands for Tsentralny Universalny Magazin (Central Department Store). Built in 1909 as the Scottish-owned Muir & Merrilees, it was the first department store aimed at middle-class shoppers. But it doesn’t do this any more, as it is now filled with designer labels and luxury items.
