How many monuments to the first cosmonaut Yury Gagarin are there in the world? 🌎
👩🚀 There are about 50 busts and monuments to Yury Gagarin in the world. They are located in different parts of the world as a tribute to the man who first stepped into space. We will tell you about the most unusual monuments to the pilot.
➡️ The first foreign monument to Gagarin was a sculpture erected in 1975 in Karlovy Vary, Czech Republic. Initially, it stood in front of the Geyser Colonnade, but was later moved to the airport. Today, Gagarin meets and warmly welcomes guests of the city right upon arrival.
✔️ And in Lyubertsy and in London, for example, there is the same monument. The first was built near the school where the pilot studied, and the second was erected in his likeness. The opening of the monument in London was timed to coincide with the 50th anniversary of Gagarin's visit to Great Britain.
👍 Another monument is located in Houston. It is a "double" of the monument in Kaluga, built in 2011. The copy is located near the former NASA headquarters.
✨ And that's not all, of course! Gagarin sculptures can be found in Argentina, Germany, Greece, Denmark, India, Italy, Kazakhstan, Canada, Kyrgyzstan, Norway, Palestine, Ukraine, Croatia, Montenegro, Switzerland and even Sri Lanka.

👩🚀 Всего в мире установлено около 50 бюстов и памятников Юрию Гагарину. Они расположены в разных уголках планеты как дань уважения человеку, впервые шагнувшему в космос. Рассказываем о самых необычных памятниках летчику.
➡️ Первым зарубежным памятником Гагарину стала скульптура, установленная в 1975 году в Карловых Варах в Чехии. Изначально она стояла перед Гейзерной колоннадой, но позднее была перенесена в аэропорт. Сегодня Юрий Алексеевич встречает и радушно приветствует гостей города прямо по прилету.
✔️ А в Люберцах и в Лондоне, например, стоит один и тот же памятник. Первый построили около училища, где учился летчик, а второй воздвигли по его подобию. Открытие монумента в Лондоне было приурочено к 50-летию визита Гагарина в Великобританию.
👍 Еще один памятник расположился в Хьюстоне. Он является «двойником» монумента в Калуге, построенного в 2011 году. Копия расположена около бывшей штаб-квартиры НАСА.
✨ И это, конечно же, не все! Скульптуры Гагарина можно встретить в Аргентине, Германии, Греции, Дании, Индии, Италии, Казахстане, Канаде, Киргизии, Норвегии, Палестине, Украине, Хорватии, Черногории, Швейцарии и даже на Шри-Ланке.
