Taras Shevchenko Memorial, Bronze statue and granite monument at P Street NW in Dupont Circle, Washington DC, United States.
The memorial combines a bronze statue of the poet with a stone wall featuring inscriptions and relief designs near the intersection of 22nd and P Streets.
The memorial received Congressional approval in 1960 and was dedicated in 1964 during a ceremony attended by former President Dwight D. Eisenhower.
The monument represents Taras Shevchenko, a 19th-century Ukrainian poet and artist who shaped modern Ukrainian literature and language development.
The memorial includes wheelchair limited access and serves as a gathering point for Ukrainian cultural events and commemorations throughout the year.
A stainless steel urn containing soil from Shevchenko's grave in Ukraine was incorporated into the memorial structure in May 1965.
