The stunning urban genre sculpture "Beaver" was installed in 2006 near the entrance to the Central Market.
Author.
Gavrilenko Vladimir Nikolaevich, Belarusian sculptor, artist, teacher.
The genre urban sculpture "Beaver" is the hallmark of Bobruisk and an extremely popular photo zone.
Legend.
If you "rub" the Beaver's nose or touch it, you will have a "nose" for money or ideas that bring money.
If you "rub" the watch chain and the ring, then luck and wealth will accompany you all your life.
Good luck to all!

The monument to the Beaver is an amazing work of art that adorns the city of Bobruisk in the Mogilev region. This 1.7 meter high monument was created by the talented sculptor Vladimir Gavrilenko and installed in 2006. Residents of the city and tourists immediately fell in love with this monument, which has become one of the most popular attractions.
The bronze sculpture depicts a beaver dressed in a dapper costume of a Bobruisk resident of the early 20th century: a frock coat, a shirt with a vest, trousers and shoes. The beaver has a butterfly on his neck and a watch chain on his stomach. The monument is located on Socialist pedestrian street, at the intersection with Karl Marx Street, next to the central market.
The Beaver monument has become a symbol of love for the city and its history. It recalls the rich culture and traditions of the region. This is a place where you can relax, enjoy the beauty of sculpture and take vivid photos.

There are no super cons, only pros. I like Bobruisk, my family and I often pass through. A good place where the sculpture is installed. A pedestrian zone where you can enjoy a walk.

Funny beaver sculpture in the very center of the old town in Bobruisk. I considered it an honor to rub his belly and take a photo with this cute character. In general, the city of Bobruisk is very nice, calm, green and it is a pleasure to walk around it. I recommend it!

An interesting attraction. It is symbolic for Bobruisk. There is a souvenir seller nearby, from whom you can buy a magnet or a beaver statuette. I was in Bobruisk and did not go to the beaver - consider that I was not in Bobruisk)) Don't forget to rub his ring)))

The most popular place in Bobruisk. If you're lucky, you'll be able to take a picture near it. Or another option: wait out the crowd of tourists who stick their heads into the beaver's boater and then can't get out, and do the same!)
The only negative is that the beaver figurine stands against the sun. And you can't figure it out why they did that, the sun is shining in your eyes, you can't take pictures. Come either in the morning before 12 or after 17.00.

The monument is located in the historical center of the city on the pedestrian zone of the famous Social Park at the entrance to the central market.
There are many shops and cafes nearby.
Here you can feel the flavor of the city, now considered the Jewish capital. The preserved architecture and atmosphere will take you back to the distant days of Jewish life in the center of Bobruisk

Having seen this work of art, a feeling of true delight, admiration, and genuine pride for my small Homeland and its history awoke in me. This is a truly indescribable palette of emotions, which I sincerely wish everyone living in Bobruisk or visiting it to experience — and it doesn't matter if it's for the first time or not.

We were passing through Bobruisk. They say there are a lot of these beavers standing around the city. This one is the most famous. It stands at the market. The beaver is funny. Chubby, in an old-fashioned suit, looks aristocratic. But I wanted to call him a "hare". No, the beaver. Beaver. Taking pictures is great.

The monument to the beaver in Bobruisk, which is a sculpture of this good-natured animal, can be understood as a symbol of harmony and focus on the present moment. Beavers, known for their ability to build dams, remind of the importance of work and creation in the life of every creature. They also embody the interconnectedness of all life forms and the ecosystem.
From a Buddhist perspective, this monument becomes a reminder of how necessary it is to live in harmony with nature, respecting all living things. The image of the beaver as a hardworking creator of the square fits the concept of karma, emphasizing that everyone's actions have consequences. The monument can also be considered as a meditation point, allowing people to reflect on a slow and conscious approach to life, especially in our rapidly changing world.
