Troszka i Adoratorek, Dwarf statue in Stare Miasto, Wrocław, Poland
Troszka i Adoratorek is a bronze sculpture pair located in the Old Town district of Wrocław, with one figure holding a camera and the other sitting beside it. The two characters face each other, creating an intimate scene that differs from the solitary statues you find elsewhere in the city.
This pair was installed in September 2016, continuing a tradition that started in 2001 as a tribute to the Orange Alternative, an anti-communist movement. The collection has grown steadily since then, with new figures added regularly to honor this historical movement.
This bronze pair belongs to a collection of over 300 dwarf figures scattered across the city, each one representing characters from Polish folklore. You can discover these figures scattered throughout the streets as you explore the neighborhoods.
You can find this statue by walking through the Old Town streets and looking for the bronze figures scattered around the area. Tourist offices in the center offer dwarf maps that show the locations of all figures throughout the city if you want to explore the full collection.
This pair depicts two characters interacting with each other, making it different from most other dwarf statues in the collection. The camera held by one figure is a playful detail that playfully reflects the tourist experience of discovering these hidden figures around the city.
