The Beatles Monument, Bronze music memorial in Kok Tobe Park, Almaty, Kazakhstan.
The memorial shows John Lennon seated on a bench playing guitar, with Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, and George Harrison standing around him in bronze. The sculpture sits on Kok Tobe hill and is surrounded by park pathways and green spaces.
The memorial was created by sculptor Eduard Kazaryan and unveiled in 2007 after receiving approval from Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, and Kazakhstan's Ministry of Culture. The Seimar charitable foundation funded this project as a musical tribute.
The site continuously plays songs from the band, creating a bridge between Kazakhstan and the worldwide impact of these musicians. Visitors can hear the melodies while viewing the figures and experiencing the musical mood of the park.
The site sits on Kok Tobe hill and can be reached by the local cable car or by road transportation. Its elevated location offers good views of the sculpture and the surrounding park.
This bronze sculpture is one of the few Beatles monuments officially approved by surviving band members. The approval from Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr makes this site particularly rare among similar tributes worldwide.
