Monument to Mikhail Lomonosov
Monument to Mikhail Lomonosov, Bronze monument near Saint Petersburg State University, Russia.
The three-meter bronze statue depicts Mikhail Lomonosov in a seated position, holding an open manuscript on his knees atop a red marble pedestal.
The monument, created by sculptor Parmen Sabella in 1892, stands between the Twelve Colleges building and the Academy of Sciences on Mendeleevskaya Liniya.
The monument represents Mikhail Lomonosov's role as Russia's first recognized scientist, poet, and educator who established Moscow University in 1755.
Visitors can access the monument by taking the metro to Admiralteyskaya station and walking along Universitetskaya Naberezhnaya toward Saint Petersburg State University.
The red marble pedestal of the monument becomes slippery during winter, creating an unexpected challenge for photographers capturing images of the statue.
