Dachshund monument
Description:
On the university embankment 9, on the territory of the "Modern Sculpture Park" there is a wonderful monument to the dachshund.
The monument is made of bronze and its base is made of granite. The opening was timed to coincide with another holiday, Philologist's Day in 2006. A more accurate opening date is May 19.
The cultural object was built by a famous person, Avetisyan Arsen Albertovich. The monument is quite popular, because around it there are constantly many children, each of whom wants to touch a bronze dachshund, stroke it.
The bronze sculpture-bench of Arsen Avetisyan liked the residents of the city, and became one of its symbols. The monument was erected in 2002, and three years later, on City Day, next to the monument, the city authorities first organized a gathering of dachshund owners with their pets. It has since become a tradition.
