The Russian Cultural Garden features a bust of Yuri Gagarin, the first human in space, at its center. Sculpted by Aleksey Leonov, the piece was gifted by the International Foundation “Dialogues of Cultures – United World” and installed in 2019. It rests on a Cleveland-crafted granite pedestal.
Look down as you walk: the garden includes a Walk of Fame with more than 100 engraved tiles honoring Russian figures from literature, music, science, and the arts—spanning names from Tolstoy to Tchaikovsky.
