Stanisław Wyspiański Monument in Kraków, Bronze memorial statue near the National Museum in Kraków, Poland

The monument stands 10 meters tall and features Wyspiański wearing a traditional cape, surrounded by characters from his theatrical works.

Created by sculptor Marian Konieczny in 1982, this monument commemorates Stanisław Wyspiański, who died in 1907 after shaping Polish literature and art.
