Statue of the Great Leader Kim il Sung [a/k/a The Grand Monument] (Pyongyang(P'yŏngyang))


Bronze statue of the Great Leader Kim Il Sung erected in 1972, along with the neighboring museum, in honor of President Kim's sixtieth birthday. The Grand Monument stands at 20 metres (about 65 feet) in front of a 70 metre mosaic of Mount Paektu (Changbaishan). For any visitor to P'yŏngyang, foreign or Korean, this is the first destination upon arrival in the city. One brings flowers to the monument and pays a respectful gesture.
