Majster Mahlec, Dwarf statue in Stare Miasto, Poland.
Majster Mahlec is a bronze dwarf figure standing at street level in the Old Town of Wrocław, shown as a skilled craftsman holding tools. The statue captures the artisanal heritage that shaped the city's development.
The sculpture was installed in 2020 as part of a collection that grew from artistic resistance during the communist era. What began as small acts of creative rebellion eventually became recognized and celebrated as a defining feature of the city.
The dwarf sculptures in Wrocław reflect the city's creative spirit and how residents transformed street art into a beloved part of daily life. These figures have become gathering points where people pause to take photographs and share stories.
The figure is located in the heart of the Old Town and easily accessible on foot while exploring the streets. Having a map or list of locations beforehand helps you spot figures more easily as you walk through the district.
This figure is one of more than 400 dwarf sculptures scattered throughout Wrocław, making the city the center of dwarf art in Europe. Many visitors engage in an unofficial game of finding and photographing all the figures they encounter.
