Pediatrikuś i Krasnalinka

Pediatrikuś and Krasnalinka are two bronze figures depicting a child doctor and a dwarf companion, standing together to represent pediatric care. The sculptures are located in the Gaj district and belong to Wrocław's collection of over 400 dwarf statues scattered throughout the city.

The statue was installed on June 1, 2016, during International Children's Day, honoring the importance of pediatric care. This monument is part of a larger artistic movement that began in the early 2000s and has since become a defining art form in the city.

The dwarfs emerged from anti-communist protest art in the 1980s and grew into a distinctive artistic tradition throughout Wrocław. They now represent different aspects of city life and have become part of how residents and visitors understand the city's character.

The figures are accessible twenty-four hours a day in the Gaj district and can be visited and photographed at any time. The location is easy to explore on foot as you walk through the residential streets of the neighborhood.

Each dwarf statue in Wrocław tells its own story through a specific profession or role, and Pediatrikuś specifically honors child doctors as protectors of children's health. This personalization transforms each figure into a small monument celebrating an important profession or activity in city life.
