Pomnik Bachusa w Zielonej Górze, Bronze sculpture in Zielona Góra, Poland

The Bacchus monument is a bronze sculpture by Kraków sculptors Jacek Gruszecki and Robert Dyrcz, unveiled in 2010. It shows the Roman god of wine as a young man wearing a vine wreath, seated on a wine barrel and holding a ribbon with the Zielona Góra coat of arms. The figure weighs over 600 kg, stands over 2 m tall and rests on a two-step, 1.5 m pedestal at the junction of Kupiecka and Żeromskiego streets with Aleja Niepodległości.

The bronze figure by Kraków sculptors Jacek Gruszecki and Robert Dyrcz was unveiled in Zielona Góra in 2010. It stands on a two-step, 1.5-metre pedestal at the junction of Kupiecka and Żeromskiego streets with Aleja Niepodległości. The same unveiling year saw the first two small Bacchus figurines installed on 2 September 2010, starting a city-wide series.

The monument gave rise to the Bachusiki, figurines about 30 cm tall placed around the city; the idea came from Gazeta Lubuska editor Tomasz Czyżniewski, and the first two were installed on 2 September 2010. By June 2025 there were 77, including 5 female bacchantes, made by local sculptors Małgorzata Bukowicz, Artur Wochniak, Robert Tomak and Andrzej Moskaluk. They carry barrels, goblets and grape clusters, are funded by associations, firms or private people, and form a marked walking trail with maps and guided tours.

The area around the monument is easily accessible on foot and centrally located in the city center, making it a natural stopping point while exploring. It is worth visiting the surroundings at different times of day, as lighting showcases different details of the sculpture.

The monument sparked the creation of over 50 small Bacchus figurines scattered throughout the city, forming a tourist trail for visitors to follow. These miniature sculptures were gradually installed in different neighborhoods and encourage people to discover lesser-known corners of the place.
