Monument to Yuri Gagarin
This monument to Russian cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin really couldn’t be simpler. It’s just a sculpture of Gagarin’s head, carved into a gigantic boulder. The sculpture is located in the tiny town of Barskoon, Kyrgyzstan, and exists because the villagers were so excited by Gagarin’s brief visit to the area immediately before his historic space flight that they decided to commemorate the occasion.
