Commemorations of Adam Mickiewicz around the world

Belarus

Brest

Adam Mickiewicz Monument
In 1965, on the 110th anniversary of Adam Mickiewicz’s death, a monument to him was unveiled in Brest. The monument was designed by the sculptor Alexei Shmakov. It is made of bronze and granite. It stands on Adam Mickiewicz Street, which has been named after the poet since the interwar period.

Grodno

Monument to Adam Mickiewicz
On 28 October 1998, a monument to the national bard Adam Mickiewicz was erected in Grodno. The bronze bust of the poet stands on a plinth clad in red marble. The design is by the artist Andrei Zaspicki from Minsk. The casting was carried out at the PZL ‘Wola’ Mechanical Works in Warsaw. They also sponsored the bust. The costs of preparing the casting and constructing the plinth were covered by the Grodno city authorities. The plinth bears the inscription: ‘To Adam Mickiewicz, from his grateful compatriots, 1998’, written in two languages: Polish and Belarusian. The monument was erected in front of the building of the now-defunct Polish House, at the junction of Dzierżyński Street and 17 September Street, on the initiative of the Adam Mickiewicz Public Committee attached to the Union of Poles in Belarus.

Lida

Adam Mickiewicz Monument
In Lida, Belarus, there is a monument to Adam Mickiewicz in the town centre. The bust, created by Walery Januszkiewicz, is made of bronze and stands on a granite plinth.
