Glukozjusz Herba Cukrzycki, Bronze dwarf statue at Plac Grunwaldzki, Wrocław, Poland
Glukozjusz Herba Cukrzycki is a bronze statue located at the corner of Wyspiańskiego and Hoene-Wrońskiego streets near the Herba Pharmacy. The small figure wears a white coat and holds a prescription pad, representing the pharmacy profession.
The statue was added to the city on November 14, 2018, a date that coincides with World Diabetes Day. This timing connected the artwork to health promotion and highlighted the pharmacy's role in community care.
This figure belongs to Wroclaw's collection of small bronze statues scattered throughout the city, each representing different professions and local stories. The statue shows how these artworks have become part of everyday city life and invite people to explore.
The statue sits next to the Herba Pharmacy near Plac Grunwaldzki and is easy to reach on foot. The location works well for photographs from different angles and is accessible from various directions in the neighborhood.
The name was chosen through a public contest, linking the pharmacy work with diabetes awareness. This participatory approach makes the statue a creation shaped directly by the local community.
