Description of the attraction
In the city of Barnaul, there is a huge number of interesting monuments dedicated to various historical events and famous people. However, the most touching and unusual city monument can be called the monument to the famous actor - Charlie Chaplin. The monument is located not far from the railway station on Victory Square, behind the memorial. Previously, there was a fountain at this place. On the right side of the monument is the Mir entertainment complex.
The monument dedicated to the American film actor, screenwriter, composer, director and universal master of cinema - Charlie Chaplin, was erected on August 30, 2007. The initiator of the creation of the monument was the owner of a nearby entertainment club bearing the name of this actor. The author of this work was the architect Eduard Dobrovolsky, who depicted a scene from the famous film called "Circus" in 1928.
The composition consists of three figures: Charlie Chaplin, escaping from an evil policeman, who is holding a baton in his hand, and also a lady of the old regime standing next to her, who, imperiously throwing up her hand, takes the whole picture on camera.
According to the plot, the main character of Charlie Chaplin appeared in the circus troupe by accident and not at all in order to become a star. Just running away from the evil policeman, he accidentally found himself in the circus arena, making such a sensation that the director of this circus had no choice but to invite Chaplin to perform in circus performances.
The monument fell in love not only with local residents, but also with guests of the city, and especially children. This funny composition makes you involuntarily smile and immediately sets you in a good mood. The monument to the famous comedian Charlie Chaplin in Barnaul is the only one not only in the city, but throughout Siberia.
