Piotr Skrzynecki Monument in Kraków, Bronze monument in Main Market Square, Kraków, Poland.

The bronze statue depicts Piotr Skrzynecki in formal attire with a hat, sitting at a small table in the middle of Rynek Główny square.

The monument commemorates Piotr Skrzynecki, who founded the influential literary and political cabaret Piwnica Pod Baranami in Kraków during 1956.

Music producer Zbigniew Preisner commissioned this statue to honor Skrzynecki's contributions to Polish theatre, film direction, and art criticism until 1997.

Located in the center of Main Market Square, the monument remains accessible throughout the day and night without any admission fees.

A second monument of Skrzynecki exists at Skawińska Street, portraying him alongside a female acrobat in front of a hospital building.
