The Siberian Cats Square: how the Siberians got to the Hermitage

Other places
Directions

The Siberian Cats Square in the center of Tyumen got its name in 2008 thanks to the story that took place in 1944. During the blockade the cat population in Leningrad (now St. Petersburg) became catastrophically small, as a result of which rats began to threaten the collection of paintings in the Hermitage. Cats were brought from other cities to save the masterpieces. 

The Siberian Cats Square reminds that Tyumen sent 238 Siberian cats to St. Petersburg by train, which became the progenitors of modern hunters of mice and rats in the most famous museum of Russia. Granite columns are set up in the alley of the park, on which 12 golden Siberian cats made of cast iron are playing.
