Mikhail Glinka Monument, Monument in Smolensk, Russia
The bronze statue stands 2.5 meters tall on a gray granite pedestal, with an artistic fence featuring musical staff and notes from compositions.
The first monument dedicated to composer Mikhail Glinka was inaugurated in Smolensk on May 20, 1885, in presence of numerous Russian musicians.
