Profesor

Profesor is a bronze dwarf figure holding a book and dressed in academic clothing. The statue stands near the University of Wrocław as part of the city's collection of dwarf sculptures located throughout the Old Town.

This figure was installed in 2011 as part of the growing collection of dwarf statues that began decades earlier. The dwarf movement originated from political resistance during the communist era when creative street art became a form of peaceful protest.

This statue reflects how important learning and universities are to Wrocław's identity. Passersby often notice the book and academic clothing, which remind them of the city's strong connection to its major research institutions.

This statue is located near the market square and can be found easily by following the official dwarf walking route through Wrocław. The site is in the city center and completely accessible without any entrance requirements.

This dwarf is one of more than 600 sculptures spread across Wrocław, and each one tells a different story about city life. Visitors often miss the fact that almost every figure shows a different job or activity that people in the city do.
