Meridek

Meridek stands among more than 800 bronze dwarf sculptures scattered throughout the streets and squares of Wrocław, measuring approximately 30 centimeters in height.

The statue, installed in October 2017, represents the legacy of the Orange Alternative movement that used dwarf imagery to protest against communist control in the 1980s.

Each dwarf statue in Wrocław connects to specific aspects of local life, with Meridek contributing to the extensive outdoor art collection that defines the city's character.

Visitors can locate Meridek using specialized maps available at tourist information points, making it part of a city-wide exploration experience.

The statue forms part of an expanding collection that includes specialized figures such as firefighters, musicians, and craftsmen, each telling different stories about Wrocław.
