Facts and practical information

The Julian Tuwim Monument stands as a tribute to one of Poland's most beloved poets in the heart of Łódź. This bronze statue, unveiled in 1999, honors the literary legacy of Tuwim, who was born in the city in 1894. The monument is located on Piotrkowska Street, one of the longest commercial thoroughfares in Europe and a central point of interest in Łódź.

The statue portrays Julian Tuwim sitting on a bench, inviting passersby to take a moment of respite and perhaps reflect on the poet's contributions to Polish literature. Tuwim, a co-founder of the Skamander group of experimental poets, was known for his lyrical expressions and satirical takes on contemporary issues. His works are considered classics of Polish literature and are an integral part of the country's cultural heritage.

The monument not only celebrates Tuwim's achievements but also serves as a popular spot for tourists and locals alike. Visitors often take photographs alongside the figure of Tuwim, enjoying the interactive nature of the installation. The statue's accessible location in the bustling city center of Łódź makes it a convenient and engaging stop for those exploring the area's rich history and vibrant culture.
