Sculpture Park "wards", Zaporozhye
In 2014, in the alley of the boulevard Shevchenko in the center of Zaporozhye was founded Sculpture Park, which was called "wards".
The idea of creating a sculpture park "wards"
The idea was born of creating sculptures in the first open-air sculpture, which in 2013 took place in the city. Almost a month creators lived in the Zaporozhye region, and inspired by the atmosphere of the ancient city and its history, then to express their emotions in a sculpture. Thus was born the seven original charms, which were donated to the townspeople on the Birthday of Zaporozhye, which coincided with the anniversary of its liberation from German fascists.
What charms are in the Sculpture Park

People truly believed in their strength and used them in an attempt to preserve their health and the health of their loved ones. With charms to build relationships within the family and protecting himself and his family out of trouble and evil eyes. Talismans amulets given to war young guys hoping to save their lives.
