Leoś

Leoś is a bronze dwarf sculpture located in the Nadodrze district and represents one of over 400 similar figures dotting Wrocław's streets and neighborhoods. The statue stands as part of this distinctive public art collection that defines the character of the city.

The dwarf figure was created in 2012 as part of a tradition that began in the 1980s as a form of resistance against the communist regime. Since then, these small sculptures have become a defining element of Wrocław's urban culture.

The dwarf statues represent the persistence of local residents, transforming street art into a collection that captures the spirit of Wrocław.

The sculpture is located in public space and can be viewed anytime while walking through the Nadodrze neighborhood. Since it is an outdoor artwork, visiting during clear weather ensures better visibility and easier photography.

Many visitors search for the dwarves as an informal game, mentally mapping their favorite figures across the city. Hunting for these scattered artworks connects travelers and local residents in a shared discovery experience.
