Monument to Frederic Chopin in Shanghai

Monument to Frederic Chopin in Shanghai, Bronze monument in Sun Yat-sen Park, Shanghai, China

The Monument to Frederic Chopin in Sun Yat-sen Park is a bronze figure of the composer standing 6 meters tall, or 7 meters with its pedestal. Sculptor Lu Pin, a Shanghai-born graduate of the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw, designed it. The bronze was cast in Gliwice, Poland, using copper supplied by KGHM Polska Miedź, and shipped to China by Chipolbrok.

The monument was unveiled on 3 March 2007 in Sun Yat-sen Park, initiated by Yu Jian'er, a Chinese entrepreneur with Polish citizenship, and Marek Niewiarowski of the International Chopin Federation. It was cast in bronze from copper supplied by KGHM Polska Miedź and smelted in Gliwice, then shipped to China by Chipolbrok. It is Shanghai's second monument to a foreigner, after a 1930s bust of Pushkin.

The monument draws music lovers from different backgrounds who come to honor one of the Romantic era's most celebrated composers. It shows how Eastern and Western artistic traditions can come together naturally in a single work of art.

The monument stands in the centre of Shanghai, in Dr. Sun Yat-sen Park. The same park holds a Chopin avenue and a museum on the composer's life and work, so allow time to walk between them. The figure rises 6 m, or 7 m with its pedestal, so it can be viewed from a distance within the grounds.

The monument is the second in Shanghai dedicated to a foreigner; the first was a small bust of Alexander Pushkin from the 1930s. Its promoters were Yu Jian'er, a Chinese businessman holding Polish citizenship, and Marek Niewiarowski, secretary-general of the International Chopin Federation in Warsaw.
