Keyboard Monument, Yekaterinburg (must see)

The Keyboard Monument, created by Yekaterinburg artist Anatoly Vyatkin, is located on the second floor of the Iset River embankment. 86 concrete keys, weighing about 80 kilograms each, are arranged in the shape of a standard QWERTY keyboard. Many people visit the site, taking photos of this unique sculptural composition. This project cleverly combines the values of Western and Eastern civilizations. It represents Western technological culture, but maintains the tradition of Eastern stone gardens. The Keyboard Monument is thus perfectly situated, as it stands on the border of Europe and Asia.
