This week's photo was taken inside the GUM department store, located next to Red Square in Moscow, Russia.
Catherine II commissioned the construction of the building around 1815 for a shopping market. It was converted to office space by Joseph Stalin in 1928.
It was reopened as a department store in 1953.
This photo was taken on our 1999 visit to Russia.
This is a photo of how beautiful GUM is on the outside.
Love,
Nancy
