Commemorative works are structures or monuments created to honor and remember significant events, individuals, or groups. These can include statues, memorials, plaques, and other artistic representations that serve as a tribute to historical figures or moments. Examples include the Lincoln Memorial and the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in the United States. These works often aim to educate the public about history and promote reflection on the values and sacrifices associated with the commemorated subject. They can be found in public spaces, parks, and museums, encouraging visitors to engage with the past and recognize its impact on the present.
