In the gallery of wooden sculpture of the Mariupol craftsman Georgy Korotkov, visitors can see 65 works of the talented master, made of 65 solid pieces of wood. In particular, bas-reliefs on historical themes are of interest – here you can see scenes from the Battle of Kulikovo, the Last Supper, as well as the work “The Great Way of the Greeks to the Azov Region”, which brought the author the medal of Metropolitan Ignatius and the diploma of the Azov Greeks. In addition, visitors, there are sculptures of such prominent figures of history and culture as Alexander Nevsky, poet Alexander Pushkin, as well as numerous icons and even a carved elegant self-portrait of Korotkov.

The gallery was opened in 1997 in the master’s home, but since 2010 the exposition was moved to the Priazov State Technical University. The exhibits can now be viewed in Audience No. 217.

Note that the master was born in 1923 in Mariupol. His talent appeared at the age of 6. Subsequently, the artist, and also the inventor, received the badge “Inventor of the USSR”, as well as the award of VDNKh.
