The super tall iPhone replica features a screen that displays a photo and video tribute to Mr. Jobs’ life. There’s also a QR code appended to the back that visitors can scan to learn more about the Apple founder.

Sadly, the monument does not come equipped with a vodka dispenser to help drown your sorrows.
