TARTU, Estonia. Monument to Gustav II Adolf of Sweden


TARTU, Estonia

Bronze monument to King of Sweden (1611-1632) Gustav II Adolf who founded the University of Tartu, in the gardens located behind the main building of the University, unveiled on 23 April 1992. It’s a work (1991) of  Swedish sculptress Elisabeth Tebelius-Myrén. 
[Another monument to the same king, made by the Swedish sculptor Otto Waldemar Strandman (1871-1960) was installed from 1928 to 1950 in the yard of the University, but was removed by the Soviet authorities on 15 May 1950.]
