Best Answer

In this context, a monument is a structure or object erected to honor or commemorate something or someone. A statue is a sculpted likeness, form or figure of a person, animal or other 'living' creature and is most often created out of stone, metal or wood. Statues may be used as monuments, but not all statues are monuments, by any means. Conversely, monuments may be statues, but they may also be other forms, structures or objects that have no relationship to a statue.
