Krasnale Europejczycy, Metal dwarf statue in Stare Miasto, Poland.
Krasnale Europejczycy is a small metal sculpture in Wrocław's Old Town made with detailed metalwork craftsmanship. The figure is located at a central intersection and is part of a larger collection of similar artworks positioned throughout the city's streets and squares.
Created in 2020, this sculpture continues a tradition that began in the 1980s with the Orange Alternative movement against communist rule. Back then, people used small dwarf statues as a quiet form of resistance placed throughout the streets.
This sculpture is part of a series of metal figures scattered throughout the city that integrate public art into everyday street life. They encourage visitors to explore neighborhoods more carefully while discovering different corners of Wrocław.
The statue sits at an intersection of walking paths in the center where you can find it by following the marked dwarf tour routes. Exploring on foot is the best way to appreciate the details and the surrounding neighborhood around the figure.
Every winter, local children place small scarves and hats on the sculpture to protect it from the cold. This habit changes the appearance of the figure with the seasons and turns it into a living part of the community.
