Krasnal Kyndrylka, Bronze dwarf statue in Muchobór Mały, Wrocław, Poland.

The statue was unveiled in 2021 and is part of a collection of over 400 dwarfs scattered throughout the city. These figures originated from an artistic movement that started in the 1980s as a form of protest against the political system.

The sculpture is located in Muchobór Mały and can be easily reached on foot using a basic city map. The best time to visit is during daylight when the light shows off the bronze figure clearly.
The book held by the figure was a project of a local art publisher and was released along with a special map. On this map are marked all the places connected to the people featured in the book, guiding visitors on a hidden exploration journey across the city.
