Photo and descriptionOne of the sights of Perm awaits guests of the city a few steps from the railway station. The Rock Garden, or the square of the 250th anniversary of Perm, has been located at the station square since 1973 and is officially considered a branch of the open-air museum of the Geological Faculty of Perm State University. The museum exposition consists of a unique collection of rocks formed on the territory of the Perm Territory and found only in the Urals. Stones of various shapes and sculptures carved from rocks are laid out on manicured lawns along park paths with benches. In the year the park was founded, a tall three-sided stele with bas-reliefs by KM Sobakin was erected nearby. From 2010 to 2011, the rock garden was completely renovated, complementing several beautiful landscape and architectural objects. The art object "Perm Gate", which is a twelve-meter structure made of spruce logs, is especially popular with guests of the city. The "gate" by artist Nikolai Polissky is made in the form of a three-dimensional letter "P" and resembles a triumphal arch, from which the four cardinal points serve. One more original composition of the garden attracts attention - a sculpture of a scarab beetle made of car tires on a metal frame. The art object "Scarab" with a four-meter ball was made by the artist Moldakul Narymbetov and is (according to the creator) an ancient symbol of the sun and rebirth. The Perm Rock Garden is not only a place of gathering of unique and original objects, but also a favorite resting place for citizens. The park has two fountains and cozy places created by the city's best landscape designers.
