This is statue of legendary guy Old Marych. A fictional character who came to symbolise the typical Poznanian. Start Marych was the creation of Julius Kubel and featured heavily on Polish radio, all the time speaking in his particular and highly amusing Poznan dialect.

I'm not sure how this qualifies as a "thing to do" in Poznan. It's a piece of street art on one of the main pedestrian thouroughfares. I like it, but still couldn't spend more than five minutes looking at it. It's worth a brief stop if you're passing, but don't make a special journey.

Starych Marych is very popular landmark and a point from which lots of gatherings start. Nice statue with interesting history behind.

Nothing fancy, just a statue of a guy that was important for local language. You can pop in on your walk around Poznań but this is not a attraction worth any effort or visiting.

As you walk down the main pedestrian shopping street from the Market Square to the Old Brewery site, you can hardly miss this old guy with his bicycle. Worth a photo as you pass by. Not a major attraction and as small as the Mermaid in Copenhagen!

Walking down Polwiejska I came across this great statue of a man walking with a bicycle ,looked cool so I went to a cafe bar across from this statue and ordered a beer ,while sipping my beer I did a quick bit of googling and found out this was Monument To Stary Marych .
Although it meant very little to me this statue is in honour of a character for a famous radio show called Blubry Starego Marycha ,the statue ,Juliusz Kubel who is a grumpy old codger but also the voice of the people,depicts the focal point of the radio series ,I loved it ,very cool ,the work of sculptor Robert Sobocinski and unveiled in 2001 ,it's the perfect selfie statue that's most definitely well worth checking out if you're walking down Polwiejska .

A long radio-story figure was Stray Marich. In his stories he critized almost everything, he was the "voice of the people". It is a funny statue.

Nothing that is awesome here but still clever and worth a quick look. Just past the main square and down by a lovely dumpling shop. Apparently there is a nice cake shop right near too but we didn’t eat there.
