SHOPPING
Just about any souvenir, bauble, or item of clothing can be found just off Red Square,
at the two major shopping centers:
GUM
and
Okhotny Ryad.
Moscow's shopping
mecca is the huge open-air bazaar open daily at
Izmailovsky Park
(near the metro sta-
tion of the same name), in eastern Moscow outside the Garden Ring. It has a huge
selection of
matryoshka
nesting dolls, plus Russian space-program memorabilia, intri-
cate and original jewelry, blue-hued Uzbek plates, lacquer boxes, and much more.
Kupina's
(
&
095/202 4100
) two stores on the Arbat offer Russian and European
art and antiques, and
Alfa-Art
(
&
095/230 0091
), an established gallery inside the
New Tretyakov Modern Art Museum, holds regular auctions for its most valuable
works as well as regular sales of its icons, paintings, and other items. For a great intro-
duction to the Russian ceramic style known as Gzhel, with delicate blue designs
painted on white porcelain and occasionally trimmed in gold, try
Gzhel
(
&
095/299
2953
) on Sadoyaya Samotechnaya near Mayakovskaya metro. Hand-embroidered
linens from the textile-producing towns along the Volga are a good buy, and can be
found at
Vologodsky Len
(
&
095/232 9463
) near Red Square.
