Trakuś

Trakuś is a bronze dwarf sculpture positioned at a street corner in the Borek neighborhood, depicting a figure engaged in ordinary daily tasks. This small statue is integrated into the urban landscape among residential and commercial buildings in the area.

Installed in 2022, this sculpture continues a tradition that originated from an underground art movement against communist authorities in the 1980s. Those early dwarf installations served as a form of creative resistance and urban expression.

This sculpture is part of a network of more than 800 bronze dwarf figures scattered throughout the city, each representing different elements of urban life. Locals and visitors view these statues as symbols of neighborhood character and civic pride.

This sculpture is located at a public street corner and can be visited at any time without restrictions. The area is well-served by public transportation and has nearby shops and cafes for visitor convenience.

This city hosts the world's largest collection of dwarf sculptures, with over 800 bronze figures now spread across neighborhoods. The collection has attracted international attention from artists and collectors who come to document and study these unusual installations.
