Ławeczka Józefa Kostrzewskiego w Poznaniu, Bronze bench monument at University Campus Morasko, Poznań, Poland
The Ławeczka Józefa Kostrzewskiego is a bronze sculpture at Campus Morasko of Adam Mickiewicz University, depicting the professor sitting on a solid bench. The sculpture faces toward the Collegium Maius building and functions both as a memorial and as a practical resting spot for those visiting the campus.
The monument was unveiled in October 2012 and relocated to Campus Morasko near Collegium Historicum in 2016. This move was part of reorganizing the university's layout to better integrate historical memorials within the academic setting.
The memorial belongs to a series of four bench monuments honoring the founders of Poznań's first university. These scattered sculptures allow visitors to encounter the institution's origins as they walk across campus.
The sculpture is located on campus and provides a natural resting spot during a university visit. Since it sits in an accessible area, it is easy to find when following the main pathways through campus.
The sculpture was created by artist Grzegorz Godawa and cast by the Brązart Workshop in Pleszew. These details reveal the local craftsmanship tradition behind producing important academic memorials.
