Monument to Jaan Poska
In 2016, a bronze memorial was erected in honour of the politician Jaan Poska (1866–1920), the Mayor of Tallinn (1913–1917) and a statesman who played an important role in the birth of the Republic of Estonia. The sculpture is called A Moment and was created by a group of architects, Pille Noole, Üllar Ambos, and Jiannis Lykouras. The sculptor was Elo Liiv.
The authors wanted the sculpture to assume a natural place among
the crowd strolling in the park, rather than be set atop a pedestal at a remove from the people. The lifelike sculpture depicts one possible moment in the daily life of Jaan Poska hurrying along the street towards his Kadriorg home (8 Poska Street).
