Look for the dwarves! Tiny comical statues in Poland




Problem
Where and when can you see the dwarves?

Answers
Wroclaw in Poland. The funniest story ever.

You can see a dwarf resting on a little sofa, a dwarf prisoner, a dwarf in a wheelchair - supporting the city's help to the handicapped residents and visitors.

You can take a guided tour or buy a guidebook.

Their festival is in September.

Lots more pictures and stories about them in the Wikipedia article on Wroclaw dwarves.

PS
If you wanted to see a real dwarf, the hero of real live dwarves was the one in Harry Potter films. I saw a documentary about him at the Warner Studios tour in England. You can book the tour on line.
