However, you should also check the other side of the road. Even a stop here would be worth it. Four huge reliefs, erected here around 1990, stand in front of the verdure of \u0104\u017euolynas. These works, commonly known as Fauna, were created in 1979-1980 by a Kaunas local, Rimantas \u0160ulskis (1943-1995). At first they were suppose to adore the facade of Tadas Ivanauskas\u2019 zoological museum in Laisv\u0117s Avenue that was being built at the time. The theme of the pieces was dictated by the purpose of the building. The bronze reliefs contain fantastical beings with both human and animal qualities. So why do we find these reliefs in a completely different part of Kaunas nowadays? Perhaps the mixed nature of the figures and the effectiveness of the images were the factors that bothered the Soviet censors, wherein they perceived something inexplicable and simply forbade the sculptor to continue with his work. Four finished bronze reliefs were erected in a secluded space near the Zoological Garens and \u0104\u017euolynas. The other three compositions were not cast from bronze.\u00a0"}
