Grab a slice of history and folklore exploring World’s historical monuments
Today the concept of monument to some has negative connotations associated with Victorian glorification of the elite, triumphalism, or maudlin sentimentality. Since the First World War, monuments in memory of those killed in catastrophic events are differentiated from earlier monuments and are regarded as memorials, democratically paying tribute to victims, families, and communities alike—still poignant but subdued, contemplative, and inclusive. Monuments generally, however, have been superseded by public art. These may mark, celebrate, or commemorate people, places, and events, but they reject the pomposity of their antecedents and are typically more fun or challenging.
