Maria Konopnicka Monument in Warsaw, Bronze statue in Saxon Garden, Warsaw, Poland
The Maria Konopnicka Monument features the figure seated on a low pedestal, created from syenite stone by sculptor Stanislaw Kulon.
The monument, unveiled on May 22, 1966, resulted from a student initiative at Primary School 11 in Kalisz and received public donations totaling 600,000 zloties.
The monument celebrates Maria Konopnicka, a Polish poet and novelist who wrote extensively about social issues and children's literature in the 19th century.
The monument stands in the northwestern section of Saxon Garden, with three inscriptions detailing its dedication, unveiling date, and contributors.
Primary school students initiated the creation of this monument, demonstrating the strong connection between Konopnicka's work and young readers in Poland.
