- MrThomas1981Ipswich, UK653 contributionsA significant monument to the struggle for Poland's freedom which really shouldn't just be seen on its own. The Solidarity museum is superb and if you are making the journey here then you must go there as well.Written November 2, 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.

- Malgorzata11,025 contributionsThe monument to the astronomer Jan Heweliusz, located in the old town on Korzenna Street, was designed by Jan Szczypke from Gdansk. It was unveiled in 2006. In this way, a tribute was paid to the great scientist. The most famous citizen of Gdansk was not only an astronomer, he was also a mathematician and a designer of scientific instruments. In 1640 he founded an astronomical observatory. He also built the world's largest 50-meter telescope at the time. He was a member of the Royal Society of Sciences in London. Behind the monument you can see the tenement house at 55 Korzenna Street, in which he lived since birth, and which he inherited after his father's death. On this building there is a small information board . He died in Gdansk in 1687 and he was buried in the church of St. Catherine. A nice monument, worth seeing.Written June 4, 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- pawel_hbgSopot, Poland9,376 contributionsThis monument was unveiled on October 16, 2015 six months after Gunter Grass death and on the 88th anniversary of his birth. It pays tribute to the Gdansk-born writer in the heart of the district where his most famous story was set. The monument shows Grass in middle-age sitting on a bench opposite a statue of possibly his most famous character – Oskar Matzerath. They appear to be in conversation or perhaps Grass is reading to Oskar from the book on his lap which has a snail crawling across it – a reference to the most autobiographical of Grass’ works From the Diary of a Snail.Written April 17, 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- Wandering WonderingsHastings, UK3,206 contributionsAnother grand statue I happened upon during my wanderings. Ornate, celebrating a king and riding a horse. Didn't find out much more than that!Written November 10, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- tinylassSheffield, UK3,799 contributionsVery weird tree sculpture that is just on a main street in the middle of nothing in particular but fills a space and looks really good! Made of metal and has lots of intricate different bits about it.Written April 19, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- Wandering WonderingsHastings, UK3,206 contributionsCame across this weird little statue as I wandered across the river. Don't know what it's about, or why it's there, but made me smile. Not worth a special trip.Written November 16, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- DJM1945Montrose, UK1,846 contributionsWe came across this beautiful and absolutely piece of street art by chance. The work is by Gunter Grass who is a Nobel Prize Winner and shows an arm holding a fish.iWritten January 5, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- DJM1945Montrose, UK1,846 contributionsThis sculpture was built to represent those people who have for over 700 years lost their lives defending Poland. AS the information was in Polish so it took some time to work out the significance of this monument.

- Ernie HCardiff, UK1,595 contributionsLocated in a little park behind the river wall opposite the toy shop. No English signage about the chap so Google if interested or just admire the artistry like we did.Written November 19, 2017This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- DJM1945Montrose, UK1,846 contributionsWe walked to this monument from the centre of the old city and it was fairly easy and the views from the monument were superb. The monument itself is fascinating and can be seen from quite a distance away.Written January 6, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
