History of Transport, Monument group in Tolyatti, Russia
The History of Transport consists of three iron sculptures depicting a paddle-wheel steamboat, steam locomotive, and hot air balloon mounted on concrete pedestals.
Between 1977 and 1979, sculptor Andrei Vasnetsov created these monuments as part of the master plan for the Auto Factory District in Tolyatti.
The sculptures represent three transportation methods that changed Russian society at the beginning of the twentieth century through industrial development.
The monument area extends through a parkland strip between Revolution Street and Anniversary Street, with each sculpture measuring approximately 10 meters in height.
The hot air balloon sculpture integrates metal figures of balloonists and appears suspended by ropes while the steamboat includes a metallic smoke effect.
