Ławeczka Poetów w Tarnowie, Bronze sculpture near Market Square in Tarnów, Poland.
The monument features three life-sized bronze figures of Polish poets Herbert, Osiecka, and Brzechwa sitting on a polished stone bench against a brick wall.
The Municipal Public Library and Tarnów City Cultural Department inaugurated this sculpture in December 2004 with a concert by Magda Umer.
Local readers selected these three poets through a public vote, and their works are available in metal boxes placed next to their bronze representations.
Visitors can borrow keys from the neighboring pizzeria to access the metal boxes containing poetry collections of the three featured writers.
The sculpture includes fragments of poems engraved on the figures, with song lyrics on Osiecka's dress and excerpts from 'Kaczka Dziwaczka' on Brzechwa's back.
