Miłostek

Miłostek is a small bronze dwarf statue located near notable houses in a residential district of Wrocław. The sculpture forms part of a larger collection of similar figures placed throughout the city as public art installations.

The statue was created in 2010 as part of an art project linked to a grassroots resistance movement from the era of communist rule. The work connects artistic expression to moments when citizens used creativity against political oppression.

These dwarf figures draw from Polish folklore traditions where small magical beings called krasnoludki appear in local stories. The statues reflect how people connect these old tales to their modern city through public art.

You can find this bronze figure using specialized dwarf maps provided at tourist information centers or through mobile applications. The statue sits in a public area and is accessible at any time without needing to register or make advance plans.

This small figure belongs to a collection of more than 300 dwarf statues scattered across the city, each representing different stories tied to local professions and city life. Many visitors walk right past them because they are low to the ground and blend into ordinary street spaces.
