Miłostróż

Miłostróż is a small bronze figure positioned in Stare Miasto near the Hansel and Gretel houses in central Wrocław. The statue depicts a dwarf in a seated pose and is part of a large series of similar sculptures scattered throughout the city.

The statue was installed in 2022 and continues a tradition of dwarf art that emerged during the 1980s Orange Alternative movement. That movement used these figures as a form of artistic resistance against the political system of the time.

The name Miłostróż means love seeker and forms part of a vast public collection that shapes how locals and visitors experience the streets. These figures represent different roles and characters found in daily city life.

The statue sits near the recognizable peaked-roof houses in the city center, making it easy to locate on foot. Specialized maps available at tourist information points help you navigate to other similar works throughout the city.

Unlike many assume, the name was not randomly chosen but references a specific personality or historical moment captured in bronze. This character was deliberately selected to convey a meaningful narrative tied to Wrocław's past or present.
