Putti Fountain, Ornate fountain at Museum of the World Ocean, Kaliningrad, Russia
The Putti Fountain is a stone water feature in the Museum of the World Ocean with several child figures positioned around a circular basin. The sculptures connect through decorative stonework, and water flows across the different levels of the composition.
The fountain was built in 1908 during a period when the city was expanding its public art collection. It belongs to the early wave of monuments and water features that arrived in Kaliningrad at that time.
The fountain displays child figures in poses that reflect European artistic traditions common in port cities. These sculptural arrangements show how international styles shaped the local visual heritage.
You can visit the fountain daily in the museum courtyard, accessed through the main entrance. The area is arranged with pathways and benches, making it comfortable to explore at your own pace.
The fountain survived the wars and city transformations of the 20th century and remains one of the few water features from that era still standing. Its survival shows how certain artistic treasures endured through fortune and care.
