Onkuś

Onkuś is a small bronze figure of a dwarf positioned along a residential street in the Muchobór Mały neighborhood. The statue is crafted from metal and sits among the everyday urban landscape where residents and visitors walk past.

The statue was created in 2012, following a movement that began in the 1980s as artistic resistance against oppression. These dwarves later became an established part of Wrocław's urban culture and recognized art project.

This dwarf statue is part of a collection of over 400 similar figures scattered throughout Wrocław, each connected to local artistic traditions. Visitors find them integrated into everyday street scenes across different neighborhoods of the city.

The statue is located in a residential area and is best explored on foot, as it sits among ordinary houses and streets. It makes sense to walk slowly and observe your surroundings to notice all the details of this small figure.

This figure is part of a game where visitors try to find and catalog as many dwarves as possible across the entire city. Many tourists photograph the statues and share them on social networks, turning the collection into a modern treasure hunt.
