Chrapek, Dwarf statue in Stare Miasto, Wrocław, Poland

Standing at 30 centimeters tall, Chrapek is a bronze dwarf figure positioned along the pedestrian walkways of Wrocław's historic district.

Installed on September 1, 2008, Chrapek joined the collection of dwarf statues that emerged from the Orange Alternative anti-communist movement of the 1980s.

The statue represents part of Wrocław's public art initiative, which includes over 800 dwarf sculptures scattered throughout the city streets and buildings.

Visitors can locate Chrapek at coordinates 51.111775, 17.029775, near other notable landmarks in the Old Town district of Wrocław.

Each winter, local residents dress Chrapek in miniature winter clothing, creating seasonal variations in its appearance throughout the year.
