Atlasik, Dwarf statue in Stare Miasto, Poland.
Atlasik is a bronze dwarf statue positioned in a corner of Wrocław's Old Town district. The figure stands about a foot tall and displays the careful detailing characteristic of this collection of public artworks.
The statue was installed in 2014 and belongs to a series that grew from an artistic movement that started in the 1980s. What began as informal creative expression evolved into a city-wide initiative that now defines Wrocław's public spaces.
This bronze dwarf is part of an artistic movement that filled Wrocław's streets with small sculptures, turning the city into an open gallery where people encounter art while walking. The statues connect residents and visitors to the places they pass through every day.
The statue sits in an accessible area of the Old Town and is easy to reach on foot. Because it is small, bringing a phone or camera to photograph the fine details makes sense.
The figure takes its name from Atlas and sits at a less crowded corner of the area. This quieter location makes it a discovery for visitors who take time to explore the side streets.
