The monument to Mikhail Vrubel in the city of Omsk is the first and only monument to the famous Russian artist in Russia. The monument is located in the historical center of the city, on Lenin Street, near the Museum of Fine Arts. The unveiling of the monument to Mikhail Vrubel took place on June 20, 2006. The opening ceremony of the pedestal was held with the participation of Governor Leonid Polezhaev, Minister of Culture of the Omsk Region Vladimir Radula, sculptor Mikhail Nogin, as well as many representatives of the public, cultural figures, and intelligentsia. M. Vrubel was born in 1856 in Omsk. He was the largest representative of Art Nouveau and Symbolism in Russian art, the author of the famous works "Spain", "Demon Sitting", decorative panels "Princess Dreams", "Venice", illustrations for the works of M. Lermontov, theatrical works, ceramic and sculptural compositions. In the first half of the twentieth century. In Omsk, an art and industrial college named after M. Vrubel was opened. At the end of the twentieth century. The Museum of Fine Arts was also named after the Russian artist. M. Nogin for two years worked on a monument to the great artist. Initially, the sculptor carefully studied the photos of Vrubel, and only after that he began to make sketches. It was important for M. Nogin to reflect the artist’s personality in the monument. On a granite pedestal rises a bronze statue - the figure of an artist who rises up the stairs towards the future. In the hands of the artist holds an album and a pencil. The height of the bronze monument is more than three meters. As conceived by the sculptor M. Vrubel, he turned slightly and a leaf with the image of the closest angel to God, Seraphim, fell onto the stairs. That is how M. Nogin conveyed the peculiar character of the great Russian artist.

It is very small parking; it is extremely difficult to park on the days of the opening of exhibitions and other events, despite the presence of a huge empty area behind the building, which is covered by a slag boom.

One of the best monuments in the city of Omsk. It has a good location, as well as highly detailed execution.

Being in Omsk, be sure to visit this place and take a photo against the background of the monument to Vrubel. And of course visit the Museum of Fine Arts. M. A. Vrubel #letsguide
