Monument to a Keyboard
Sight4.5 · 2 4194 · 226≈ 22 minFree entry
A giant QWERTY keyboard set into the Iset river embankment by the former House of Printing — one of Russia's best-known pieces of urban sculpture. Created by Anatoly Vyatkin and unveiled in 2005, it has 86 concrete keys, each weighing around a hundredweight. Making a wish by 'pressing' the right letter is said to work, which is why the most popular keys have been polished by thousands of touches.
