Guitar neck monument

Yekaterinburg is famous not only for its exquisite architecture, various museums, but also for monuments, not only of historical significance, but also for a more creative direction. One of these monuments is the monument to the guitar neck. It was installed on a glade near the State Center for Contemporary Art, in November 2007. The initiators were several artists and musicians of Yekaterinburg.

The monument to the guitar neck is a stylized image of a guitar neck, two meters high, and made of iron. Anyone can supplement the appearance of the monument - tie a guitar string to it, a broken neck, other things related to rock music.

The idea of opening such a monument is not accidental. It is linked to the cancellation of the Rock nomination at the annual MTV awards ceremony.

The city of Yekaterinburg is recognized as one of the cities of Russia, where such a direction of music as rock lives and develops. It was here that such rock stars as the groups “Nautilus Pompilius”, “Nastya”, “ChaiF”, “Sense hallucinations” and “Chicherina” were erected on the Olympus of fame.
