Bartonik, Bronze dwarf statue in Market Square, Wrocław, Poland.
Bartonik stands as a miniature bronze figure, measuring approximately 30 centimeters in height, depicting a gnome in the center of Wrocław's market district.
The statue was installed on April 24, 2012, joining hundreds of other dwarf sculptures that emerged across Wrocław since 2005 as artistic urban installations.
This dwarf represents part of a larger movement that originated from the Orange Alternative, a Polish anti-communist group that used gnomes as symbols of resistance.
Visitors can locate Bartonik using coordinates 51.109914, 17.032136 in the Old Town, with limited accessibility for wheelchair users due to surrounding cobblestones.
The statue forms part of an extensive collection numbering over 800 dwarfs scattered throughout Wrocław, each with individual characteristics and stories.
