 park, open air museum, interesting place

Muzeon Park was established in 1992 and currently displays over 700 sculptures. It is split into themed sections, i.e. the Oriental Garden, Pushkin Square, Portrait Gallery, World War II, victims of communist rule, and the fallen monuments.
In October 1991, when the Soviet Union collapsed, smaller socialist realism statues of Soviet leaders and unidentifiable 'workers and peasants' were removed from their pedestals and hauled to the park.
