Komsomolsk has a wealth of wonderful murals adorning the sides of apartment blocks and factories. Most were the creation of Khabarovsk-based artist Nikolai Dolbilkin, who lived here in the 1950s and '60s. Among the best are the double triptych WWII mosaic in the central grey dom kultura building near Sudostroitel Park (now inside a children's play space); the nauka (science) mosaic at the Polytechnical Institute, a block east of Hotel Voskhod; and the stunning electric worker mosaic on the side of the TETs electric station (be mindful of the belligerent security guards at this last one).
