A statue of Alexander Pushkin

Pushkin, our everything. A rather workmanlike sculpture of Alexander Pushkin, crafted by Aldona Nenasheva from Muzeon Park of Arts, takes its place in a corner between two sidewalks of Muzeon. When walking along the embankment under Krymsky bridge from Gorky park you will arrive at the Park of Arts Muzeon. It is one of Russia's largest outdoor museums where disgraced leaders are paired with diverse creations by contemporary sculptors. Over 700 minor and major works made of stone, wood, bronze, and other materials can be found here. Among the sculptures of modern artists are works by Vera Mukhina – a prominent Soviet sculptor, the statue of KGB founder Felix Dzerzhinsky, and Lenin and Stalin monuments. To complete your art tour, visit the New Tretyakov Gallery. The New Tretyakov is Russia's premier venue for 20th century Russian art. It displays works by Russian avant-garde masters such as Malevich, Kandinsky and Chagall, the collection of Socialist Realism, art of the “Severe Style” and “underground.”
