Ukraine; Rivne; Forged Figures Alley
Forged Figures Alley in Rivne, Ukraine, is a unique open-air exhibition founded in 2012. The alley is located in the central part of the city, and each piece here is the result of the talent and skill of blacksmiths who gather for the annual festival "Metal Heart of Ukraine" ("Heart of Metal of Ukraine"). These forged works have been decorating the city for over ten years, and the alley is constantly replenished with new exhibits, creating a special atmosphere of creativity and fantasy.
The figures on the alley reflect various themes: here you can see both abstract compositions and sculptures in the form of animals, fairy-tale characters and unusual objects. Locals and tourists willingly take pictures next to these works of art, which have become a real symbol of the city. The Alley of Forged Figures is not only a place for walking and relaxing, but also a way to maintain the traditional art of forging, uniting craftsmen from all over Ukraine and giving Rivne a unique cultural heritage.
