Soviet Mosaics in Ukraine

Kid`s area Fairytale

The children's town and area "Fairytale" in the city of Mykolaiv was opened on May 19, 1982. Its amphitheater was decorated with a large mosaic panel "Fairy Tales" by Valery Kuptsov. The mosaic was dismantled around 1988-1989 due to extensive shedding and damage.

There was also a stained glass work by Kuptsov in the children's area. It was replaced by an ordinary glass around 2010-2014. The sketch of the stained glass window "Ancient Cities" is stored now in the family archive of Valery Kuptsov.
