Galeria Figur Stalowych Praga
The Gallery of Steel Figures is the first place in the world where steel sculptures are made of elements from the recycling of scrap metal. They started with a table with a glass top, made on the basis of a V8 engine. Today, their collection has 600 figures that can be admired in Poland and Europe. Each figure requires 1 to 8 months of work, while car sculptures require the longest time – during their creation, 4 craftsmen work up to 7,000 man-hours. At the same time, all figures are exclusively hand-made: they do not use castings or heavy machinery. Although it sounds unbelievable, theirs basic tools are simply a welding machine, a burner, a hammer and a trimmer. Thanks to this, each of the works is literally unique.
