A monument can say a whole lot about the area it’s in, the people who represent it or the history surrounding it. These memorable monuments encompass all those things, but at times they take on different forms than we might expect. These 15 memorable monuments contain replicas of great historical artifacts in the form of Kleenex boxes and pizza trays, or advertisements and postcards.
A true monument doesn’t have much trouble making its way into other areas of our lives!
