In 1982, a new building of the Drama Theater was built here, in 1985 - a monument in honor of the heroes of the war and a color-music fountain, later replaced by a more modern one. In our time, to improve the appearance of the place and increase its attractiveness for residents, cultural objects continue to be erected here.

The composition also includes the figure of a photographer standing opposite, ready to take a picture with a rare camera. The monument is located on one of the central streets of Perm. It was installed in 2006. The name is associated with the traditional nickname of the inhabitants of the Perm region.
Another urban sculpture depicting the famous symbol of the city - the bear. She decorated the central part of Perm in 2009 (the first version of the monument was made of stone and installed in 2006). According to the original idea of the authors of the project, the composition symbolizes the stereotype widespread among foreigners that in Ural cities Bears roam the streets freely.
The art object is an inscription of two-meter red letters, located on the Kama embankment in the area river station. It was created by B. Matrosov for the ArtPole festival. The composition ended up in Perm in 2009. The attraction gained popularity largely thanks to television, as it appeared in a couple of well-known Russian TV series and even in an American music video.
An art museum containing more than 50 thousand works of art created from ancient times to the present. There are collections of Permian wooden sculpture, icons, engravings, antique ceramics, medieval paintings. The exposition is located in the building of an architectural monument - the Cathedral of the Transfiguration of the Savior of the late 18th - early 19th centuries, built according to the project of I. I. Sviyazev.

The building was built in the provincial baroque style on the site of an earlier church. In 1929, the temple was closed as part of a general anti-religious campaign, while almost all valuable church property was confiscated. Worship services resumed in the 1990s after extensive restoration of the building.
The history of the monastery began at the end of the 18th century with the construction of a wooden church for the workers of the copper smelter. In 1816, the construction of a stone church began, at which a monastery was gradually formed. In 1935, the monastery was abolished, the main part of the premises was transferred to the production warehouses of the bakery. In 1995, the Holy Trinity Stefanov Monastery resumed its activities.
The temple was erected in 1902 largely thanks to the donations of the townspeople. It became the last church in Perm built before the 1917 Revolution. In those days, the people called it "merchant". In the 1930s, after being confiscated by the authorities, it was converted into a bakery. In the 1970s, it was decided to restore and place inside concert hall. In 1991, the building was returned to believers.

The main goal of the theater is to present to the audience the entire creative heritage of the famous native of the Kama region - composer P. I. Tchaikovsky.

The exposition is a group of open-air buildings dating back to the 17th – first half of the 20th centuries.

Once the building, built in the style of the so-called "Stalinist monumentalism" in the middle of the 20th century, belonged to the KGB. In Soviet times, there were many terrible legends about it, which is why it acquired the frightening nickname "Death Tower". People shared stories about how innocents were tortured in the dungeons and the condemned were executed by throwing them off the roof into the courtyard. Today the building belongs to the local police department.

In the second half of the 20th century, the park gradually fell into disrepair. In 2010, after a large-scale reconstruction, the Garden of Eden reopened to visitors. Today it is a popular holiday destination.
