Horishni Plavni

The monument to the grandmother selling seeds "by the glass" was opened in Horishni Plavni in 2006.

The sculpture is placed on the central street of the city, where street trade has been conducted for more than 30 years, despite the efforts of the city authorities and inspection services. Under the stool in the seed seller, there is also a check for regular customers.

Local merchants invented an omen in connection with the opening of the monument: if you sit next to it before sunrise, you will be successful in trade all day long.

The local lore museum of Horishni Plavni has been operating since 2000. The exposition tells about the history of construction of the city of Horishni Plavni and the local mining and processing plant, as well as about the ancient history of the region.

Paleontological and archeological collections are exhibited. The ethnographic exposition "Ukrainian House" recreates the interior of a rural house. The lecture hall contains a mineralogical collection and an art gallery.

The "Shrine" exposition in the courtyard of the Museum of Local Lore presents a collection of "stone chests" - burial structures of archeological culture of the Eneolithic period, found during archeological excavations of local mounds, as well as anthropomorphic or amorphous gravestones and over-mound hewn slabs.

The sculpture of a plumber, looking waist-deep from a sewer hatch, is one of the new sights of Horishni Plavni.

The plumber is depicted with a wrench in his hand and, judging by the expression on his face, a little tipsy. A dog is sitting opposite him on the hatch cover.

The author of the monument is sculptor Oleh Ryabo.
