Powerek, Dwarf statue in Stare Miasto, Poland
Powerek is a small bronze sculpture located in Wroclaw's Old Town and part of a large collection of dwarf figures scattered throughout the city's streets. The statue displays crafted details and stands on a base like the other pieces in this outdoor art collection.
The figure was installed in 2017 and follows a tradition that began in the 1980s when artists used this unconventional method to protest political repression. This artistic approach later evolved into the large-scale dwarf project that defines Wroclaw today.
This dwarf depicts a moment of daily life and is part of how the city uses small sculptures to tell stories about its people and their world. Locals and visitors notice these figures as they walk, pausing to appreciate the character and humor in each one.
You can find this figure in Wroclaw's Old Town area where many dwarf statues are spread across several squares and streets. A free map or mobile app makes it easy to locate these works while exploring the neighborhood.
This specific figure is one of more than 600 in Wroclaw, making the city the place with the highest concentration of such artworks worldwide. The project continues to grow as new figures are regularly added in different locations.
