THE STURGEON
Standing tall and proud, this magnificent sturgeon is the king of the undersea indeed! The magnificent statue is made of cast iron, with its weight reaching 2,415 kg and a height of a whopping 2 metres. Its dimensions 2000x1420x660 mm.

The mighty sturgeon fish symbolizes both grace and strength, while its intricately carved scales shimmer like a cloak full of sparkling gems, and the curve of the tail looks like a strong wave crashing on the shore.

The regal posture and smooth lines of the statue give the impression of the sturgeon being alive. You can feel its imperial presence which leaves you in awe of its greatness and splendor.

Get ready to be mesmerized by the beauty of the STURGEON and visit the Beluga Hotel in Barnaul where its statue resides. Take your time to appreciate the wonder of this breathtaking artwork which, like no other, conveys the essence of the greatness of nature in its every line and curve.
