Monument to Taras H. Shevchenko, Bronze monument near P Street NW in Dupont Circle, Washington D.C., United States.
The memorial features a bronze statue of Taras Shevchenko stepping forward while holding his coat lapel, accompanied by a stone relief-adorned wall.
The memorial, unveiled in 1964 to mark Shevchenko's 150th birth anniversary, received support from Presidents Harry Truman and Dwight Eisenhower.
The monument represents Ukrainian independence through Shevchenko's poetry and art, which influenced the development of modern Ukrainian literature.
Visitors can access the memorial through public transportation and read historical information panels that explain Shevchenko's significance to Ukrainian culture.
A stainless steel urn containing soil from Shevchenko's grave rests at the base of the memorial, connecting it directly to Ukrainian soil.
