Gwiazduś

Gwiazduś is a small bronze dwarf that stands among hundreds of similar figures scattered throughout Wrocław's streets and squares. The tiny statue depicts a specific pose or activity and sits at ground level where passersby can discover it up close.

The dwarf series began in 2005 as an artistic response to a local movement that used creativity and humor to resist authority during the communist era. This collection has grown into a permanent feature of the city and continues to expand over time.

The dwarfs function as a shared symbol that locals and visitors explore together, turning everyday walks through the city into a playful quest. They connect people to the streets and neighborhoods in a way that makes the city feel alive and intimate.

The statue sits at street level and is easy to miss, so looking carefully while walking helps you spot it. Many visitors use specialized guides or apps to track down the different figures and create their own exploration route through the city.

Each dwarf figure in this city-wide collection performs a different activity or scene from everyday life, giving every statue its own character. This variety makes hunting for the dwarfs rewarding because no two figures are quite the same.
