Over the past decades, gnomes have become a hallmark of Wroclaw. The city hosts the Dwarf Festival, and those who wish can walk along the tourist route “Following the Dwarfs” or buy a magnet with the image of fabulous dwarfs in souvenir shops. The first figurines (a dwarf musketeer, a butcher, a dwarf washerwoman and dwarfs-Sisyphus, who push a large ball in different directions) were installed in 2005 by Tomasz Moczek, a graduate of the Academy of Fine Arts. Since then, the number of fairy-tale characters has been constantly growing. Here they hide under benches, illegally trade in currency, sleep on the windowsills of cafes and chat on the roofs of churches. Their number is already approaching 500 and continues to grow.
