Ossolinek, Bronze dwarf statue in Stare Miasto, Poland.
Ossolinek is a small bronze dwarf sculpture positioned among numerous similar figures spread throughout Wroclaw's streets. The statue displays distinctive craftsmanship and is located at a specific spot in the historic city center.
The statue was installed in 2008 as part of a movement that began in the 1980s as a form of creative expression during a turbulent period. This tradition has grown into an art project that now shapes the character of the city.
This figure is part of a collection that shapes the city's visual identity and invites visitors to explore the streets. The dwarfs have become a recognizable feature that draws both locals and tourists alike.
This artwork stands in public space and can be visited at any time without special facilities or arrangements. Those wanting to find multiple dwarfs should plan to walk through the old town and keep an eye out for them along the streets.
