Harfuś, Dwarf statue at Lower Silesian Bicycle Center, Robotnicza Street, Wrocław, Poland
Harfuś is a bronze statue of a dwarf playing a harp, positioned at the entrance of a bicycle center on Robotnicza Street. The sculpture captures detailed features of both the musician and the instrument he holds.
The figure was created by sculptor Tomasz Moczek and installed in March 2014. It belongs to a collection of dwarf statues that emerged from an artistic resistance movement against authoritarian rule.
The figure shows a dwarf musician in front of a bicycle shop, connecting musical performance with the neighborhood's everyday life. This blend of art and commerce reflects how creativity appears in unexpected places throughout the city.
The statue sits at Robotnicza Street 52A in the Szczepin district and can be viewed any time of year. It stands directly at the bicycle shop entrance, making it easy to spot and photograph from the street.
The dwarf actually plays a musical instrument rather than serving as a purely decorative figure, which sets it apart from most others. This musical focus is a rare choice among the city's many dwarf sculptures.
