Have you ever been to Wrocław, one of the most pronounceable cities in Poland? Here, you can find quite a few astonishing Gothic and Baroque buildings. There is also a smaller and yet not less incredible part of the city’s art scene.

Wrocław’s streets are home to numerous bronze dwarves, little people peeking out from the street corners and resting on the benches. There are officially more than 400 gnomes across the city, with Tomasz Moczek being the creator of more than 100 figures alone. Not only are dwarves part of a dazzling art scene of the city, but they are also a node to a Polish anti-communist movement called the Orange Alternative.
