Пам'ятник носу Гоголя, Memorial sculpture in Andriyivsky Descent, Kyiv, Ukraine.
The bronze sculpture shaped as a prominent nose protrudes from a red brick wall at 13 Desiatinnaya Street in central Kyiv.
The memorial was installed in 2009 to commemorate Nikolai Gogol's 1836 satirical short story 'The Nose' about a nose that detached from its owner.
The monument represents Ukrainian literature through Gogol's absurdist narrative style, which influenced generations of Eastern European writers.
The memorial stands near multiple art galleries, restaurants, and craft shops along the steep cobblestone street leading to Saint Andrew's Church.
The nose sculpture engages visitors who touch it believing this gesture brings creativity and good fortune according to local traditions.
