The Moscow sculptural composition - is the only one in the world where the popular heroes of Conan Doyle appear before the public together. They have been made in actual size (800 kg of bronze was used for the monument). Sherlock Holmes stands near the small bench, on which doctor Watson has taken a seat. There is a space in between them allowing you to take picture in their company.
Unveiling of the monument was timed to the 120th anniversary since the story of Conan Doyle about adventures of Sherlock Holmes "A Study In Scarlet" saw the light.
The monument to the heroes of Conan Doyle has been erected within the framework of project «Peoples' heroes in sculptural compositions» of the international charitable public fund «Dialogue of cultures - one world». The monument to Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson is the third monument to the heroes of world literature in the Russian capital. In 2004 within the framework of the project near the Metro station «Molodezhnaya» there appeared a monument to resilient baron Munchhausen, pulling himself out of the bog, and in 2006 on Yartsevskaya street - the monument to Hodja Nasreddin, legendary wise and witty man.
