Wrocław OUR CITY_ WROCŁAW | Page 18

Our smallest inhabitants of our city are Wroclaw dwarves. There are over 300 of them in Wrocław. They are small figurines cast in bronze which appear in the streets of our city. They are about 20-30 cm high. You can meet them in park, at the front of museums,theaters, banks, Wrocław's universities but also in the shopping centers. First dwarfs appeared in 80. painted by members of “the Orange Alternative” to ridicule the communist regime. Each dwarf has a name, for example: Tumski Miller, Student, Book-lover, Key Holder, Snorer, Postman, Miss Delicious, Sleepwalker, Gardeners, Fuger, Educated and many, many more. Special tours are organized along the dwarves trail, outdoor games, theatrical performances and maps issued for tourists who want to combine the discovery of subsequent figurines with the sightseeing of Wrocław.
