Памятник Хачатуряну

The Khachaturian monument is a bronze statue on Bryusov Lane depicting the Armenian composer seated among musical instruments. The figure holds musical notes in his hands, surrounded by a piano, organ, and cello that symbolize his compositional work.

The monument was unveiled on October 31, 2006, during the Year of Armenia in Russia. Armenian artist Georgy Frangulyan created the sculpture, which was funded by Yerevan City Hall and gifted to Moscow as a symbol of cultural exchange.

The monument is located near the Moscow Conservatory and reflects Khachaturian's deep ties to the city's music world. The inscriptions on the granite base appear in both Russian and Armenian, honoring his importance to both cultural traditions.

The statue is located on Bryusov Lane in the Presnensky District, an accessible pedestrian area easy to reach on foot. Visitors can view the sculpture outdoors at any time and explore nearby cultural attractions in the surrounding neighborhood.

The sculptor embedded musical notes directly in the composer's hands, making the act of composition an integral part of his likeness. This subtle detail transforms the monument into a visual representation of Khachaturian's creative mind that many visitors overlook.
