Parallel universe

I was not here for the retail therapy, it is a working day.

Only took two pics today, this is one of them. The statuary is rather bizarre.

Is the idea that this is the new Rome ? Or am I complicating things, the idea is that all the artefacts, statuary and murals suggest quality and class (!!) and to encourage the punters to part with their hard earned cash. In which case - it succeeds, whatever I think of it.
