Krasnal Tomografek, Bronze dwarf statue in Nadodrze district, Wrocław, Poland.
Krasnal Tomografek is a small bronze sculpture on the street in Wrocław's Nadodrze district that depicts a medical professional. The figure stands just under 10 inches (25 centimeters) tall and features realistic details in its execution.
The statue was installed in 2018 and is part of a large collection of dwarf figures that began appearing in Wrocław from the 1980s onward. The movement started as an artistic form of resistance and has since become a well-known feature of the city's streets.
This small bronze figure depicts a healthcare worker and reflects the importance of the medical profession in the city's life. The portrayal fits into a pattern where different occupations and aspects of city life are represented through miniature figures scattered throughout Wrocław's streets.
The sculpture is located in the Nadodrze neighborhood and can be found using an official dwarf map or by following directions from nearby landmarks. Because of its small size, visitors should walk carefully and look closely at street level to spot it.
The figure's name plays on tomography, a medical scanning technique that relates to the statue's appearance as a healthcare worker. This playful naming shows how the artists behind these dwarfs often use wordplay to make their works more personal and memorable.
