Outdoor sculptures in the city commemorate many notable individuals and topics reflecting the rich and complex [[history of Lviv]]. There are monuments to [[Adam Mickiewicz]], [[Ivan Franko]], [[Daniel of Galicia|King Danylo]], [[Taras Shevchenko]], [[Ivan Fyodorov (printer)|Ivan Fedorov]], [[Solomiya Krushelnytska]], [[Ioan Potcoavă|Ivan Pidkova]], [[Mykhailo Hrushevskyi]], [[Pope John Paul II]], [[Jan Kiliński]], [[Ivan Trush]], [[Saint George]], [[Wojciech Bartosz Głowacki|Bartosz Głowacki]], the monument to the [[Mary (mother of Jesus)|Virgin Mary]], to [[Nikifor]], [[The Good Soldier Švejk]], [[Stepan Bandera]], [[Leopold von Sacher-Masoch]], and many others.

During the [[interwar period]] there were monuments commemorating important figures of Polish history. Some of them were moved to the Polish "[[Recovered Territories]]" after World War II, like the [[Aleksander Fredro Monument in Wrocław|Monument to Aleksander Fredro]], which now is in [[Wrocław]], the [[John III Sobieski Monument in Gdańsk|Monument of King John III Sobieski]], which after 1945 was moved to [[Gdańsk]], and the monument of [[Kornel Ujejski]], which is now in [[Szczecin]]. A book market takes place around the monument to [[Ivan Fyodorov (printer)|Ivan Fеdorovych]], a typographer in the 16th century who fled Moscow and found a new home in Lviv.

New ideas came to Lviv during Austro–Hungarian rule. In the 19th century, many [[publishing]] houses, newspapers and magazines were established. Among these was the [[Ossolineum]] which was one of the most important Polish scientific libraries. Most Polish-language books and publications of the Ossolineum library are still kept in a local [[Society of Jesus|Jesuit]] church. In 1997 the Polish government asked the [[Government of Ukraine|Ukrainian government]] to return these documents to Poland. In 2003, Ukraine allowed access to these publications for the first time. In 2006, an office of the Ossolineum (now in [[Wrocław]]) opened in Lviv and began scanning all its documents. Works written in Lviv contributed to Austrian, [[Ukrainian literature|Ukrainian]], Yiddish, and [[Polish literature]], with a multitude of translations.

The [[Stepan Bandera monument in Lviv]], which stands in front of the Stele of Ukraine Monument, is a statue dedicated to nationalist leader and Nazi collaborator, Stepan Bandera, a controversial twentieth century Ukrainian symbol of nationalism who participated in the massacre of thousands of Poles and Jews.
