---

Starting March 1, visitors to the National Centre RUSSIA can explore the updated Department Store. The space has been expanded, and its interior is now decorated in a spring-inspired style featuring elements of traditional Mikhailovskoye lace, a folk art craft from the Ryazan region.

The product range has grown — 159 manufacturers from 62 regions of the country are now represented in the Department Store. The grocery section now offers honey, marzipan, chaga tea, and salt with white mushrooms. The home goods section features jacquard blankets, wooden tableware, candles, and diffusers. The souvenir collection has been expanded with ceramic items, sea stone crafts, and shamanic tambourines. Additionally, products from six more folk art crafts have been introduced at the Department Store, including Dyatkovo crystal, Tagil trays, Mikhailovskoye lace, Tyumen carpets, Zlatoust engraving, and the "Khokhloma x Akhmadullina" collection. In total, the Department Store now showcases goods from 24 folk art crafts. 

"The Department Store is now not only larger but also cozier. We have expanded the assortment, introduced new design solutions, and created a spring atmosphere. Our goal is for every visitor of the National Centre RUSSIA to find something special for themselves or their loved ones," said Irina Tesleva, Head of Regional Relations at the National Centre RUSSIA. 

For shoppers' convenience, gift cards in denominations of 5,000, 10,000, and 15,000 rubles are now available.

Visitors can also explore the "Fashion" section, showcasing works by students of one of Russia’s key fashion designers, Sergei Sysoev. This architecture-inspired collection complements "The Birth of Scale" exposition. 

Additionally, the Department Store will continue to serve guests of the National Centre's events at its new location near the Grand Concert Hall.
