The monument to O. O. Bohomolets is a monument in honor of the scientist-pathophysiologist, president of the Ukrainian National Academy of Sciences Olexandr Bohomolets. The full-length figure of the scientist, made of plexiglass using the electroplating technique, is installed on a rectangular pedestal of pink granite. O. Bohomolets is depicted in a light, relaxed movement: his left leg is put forward, his right arm, bent at the elbow, leaning on a stick, his long coat is thrown over, and his left arm is loosely lowered along his body. A shirt collar and tie are visible from under the jacket. The sculptural portrait expressively reproduces the features of the appearance: a thin face, a slightly stooped light figure. The plastic is characterized by realism and precision in the rendering of details. A metal plate with the scientist's name is mounted on the front side of the pedestal. In the late 2000s, the monument was dismantled.
