The center of tourism and entertainment showed Pskov badgers

In December 2023, as part of the Heart of Pskov project, unique genre sculptures appeared in the city, which received the popular name “Barsica”. Our photo report is dedicated to these art objects, which quickly won the love of residents and guests of the region. The figures are made in the technique of bronze casting with careful manual modification. Each character has its own character and unique attribute, organically fitting into the surrounding urban landscape. A distinctive feature of the project is its interactivity: a QR code is placed on the pedestal of each sculpture. After scanning it, you can find out the detailed history of the place where the Barsik is installed. According to the established urban tradition, touching the figure is considered a good sign that contributes to the fulfillment of the cherished desire. Initially, 10 sculptures were installed in the city, but the project continues to develop, and to date, their total number has reached 17. We offer you a photo selection that allows you to get acquainted with each of these bronze characters.
