Taras Shevchenko, Bronze statue and stone relief memorial in Dupont Circle, Washington D.C., United States.
The Taras Shevchenko Memorial features a 14-foot bronze statue atop a 7-foot granite base at 2200 P Street NW in Washington D.C.
The memorial was authorized by the 86th Congress in 1960 and unveiled on June 27, 1964, marking the 150th anniversary of Shevchenko's birth.
The monument honors the Ukrainian poet and artist who shaped modern Ukrainian literature through his writings about freedom and national identity.
Visitors can read inscriptions in both English and Ukrainian, including quotes from Shevchenko's poem The Caucasus on the white granite wall.
Former presidents Harry Truman and Dwight Eisenhower supported the memorial's creation, despite initial opposition from The Washington Post.
