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.

The monument represents Mikhail Glinka, who established the foundation of Russian classical music by incorporating traditional folk elements into compositions.

The statue serves as a central gathering point for the Glinka Decades festival, which takes place in Smolensk since 1958.

The decorative fence surrounding the monument displays actual musical notes forming recognizable segments from Glinka's musical compositions.
