Waguś, Dwarf statue in Tarnogaj district, Poland.
Waguś is a bronze dwarf figure in the Tarnogaj area of Wrocław, crafted with fine detail and positioned within the neighborhood streetscape. The statue displays skilled craftsmanship and blends into the urban setting.
The figure was installed in 2012 and belongs to a series of dwarf sculptures that originated from a resistance movement called Orange Alternative. These sculptures were later distributed throughout the city and have shaped its appearance since then.
The figure is part of a collection of dwarf sculptures scattered throughout the city that shape local identity and give the place its character. Visitors encounter these bronze figures while walking through different neighborhoods and learn about the city's past through them.
The figure is located in a publicly accessible area and can be visited at any time since it stands in a fixed outdoor location. It is best viewed during daylight hours to fully appreciate the details of the sculpture.
The figure is part of an unexpected artistic phenomenon: hundreds of dwarves are hidden throughout the city, some in hard-to-reach places. Collectors and tourists hunt for them like searching for urban treasure.
