Taras Shevchenko, Bronze statue and stone relief memorial in Dupont Circle, Washington D.C., United States.
This memorial consists of a bronze statue mounted on a granite base, located on P Street in Washington D.C. A white granite wall complements the installation with inscribed quotations.
The memorial was authorized by Congress in 1960 and dedicated in 1964. Its establishment involved political discussions and marked a moment of recognition for Ukrainian culture in the United States.
The memorial honors one of Ukraine's most important writers, whose works explored freedom and national identity. His significance is reflected in the careful design and inscribed texts that visitors can read today.
The memorial sits in a public park and is freely accessible to visitors. You can read inscriptions in both English and Ukrainian on the stone surfaces to learn more about the poet.
The memorial was backed by former U.S. presidents despite initial media opposition. This surprising political support shows how significant the figure was across national boundaries.
