Пам'ятник «Скрипаль на даху», Bronze memorial statue in Kharkiv, Ukraine.
This memorial is a bronze statue of a violin player sitting on a rooftop in central Kharkiv, positioned to be visible from the street below. The figure depicts a musician in performance, with the elevated placement giving the artwork its distinctive appearance in the urban landscape.
The statue was installed in 2003 as a tribute to the character Tevye from the musical Fiddler on the Roof and to Jewish cultural history. Its creation marked a moment when Kharkiv looked back at its own traditions and cultural roots after decades of transformation.
The memorial holds special meaning for the local music community and serves as a gathering point where musicians and music lovers connect. People often visit to experience the blend of artistic expression and cultural memory in one location.
The memorial is located in central Kharkiv and can be visited independently or as part of walking tours through the city. The surrounding area has cafes and restaurants where visitors can spend time while exploring the neighborhood.
The artwork gains its distinctive character from having the musician positioned on a rooftop, which literally translates the musical's title into the city's physical space. This unusual placement often catches people by surprise when they spot it while walking through the neighborhood.
