Famous sculptures and statues in Minsk
Mikhailovsky Park
Next to the Railway station there is a one of the beloved places of the youth of the city. Mikhailovsky Park, decorated with some genre sculptures by Vladimir Zhbanov, the woman on the bench - a light version of the same sculpture in Germany (Dusseldorf), - the smoking man, who once had been odered by cinema producer Vladimir Golinsky. Golinsky posed for that sculpture himself. In 2000 a new work of the artist appeared - the girl with an umbrella. This sculpture turned to be the most popular one in the park. Everyone wants to take a picture of a touching young girl holding up her umbrella with huge holes in it. Unfortunately, exaggerated attention of tourists to this sculpture has broken the hand of it four times already.
