Taras Shevchenko, Memorial statue in Shevchenko Park, Ukraine
The monumental bronze statue stands on a granite pedestal facing the red building of the National University, measuring 6.5 meters in height.
The monument, inaugurated in 1939, replaced a previous memorial dedicated to Nikolay I, marking a shift in Ukrainian national representation at this location.
The memorial represents Taras Shevchenko, the national poet and artist who dedicated his creative works to Ukrainian independence during the 19th century.
Located at the northern entrance of Shevchenko Park, the monument is accessible via multiple public transportation options from central Kyiv.
The park surrounding the monument contains designated areas where local residents gather daily to play chess and participate in street performances.
