Čumil (Man at Work)
Čumil
A bronze statue of a worker peering out of a manhole. It is the most famous fun sculpture in the Old Town and the starting point of a bronze statue hunt.
The name Čumil means 'the onlooker.' It was installed in 1997 at the intersection of Panská and Laurinská streets, next to a 'Beware of Workers' sign. Several other playful bronze statues are scattered through the Old Town, including a Napoleonic soldier, a paparazzo called Paparazzo, and the handsome Schöne Náci. You can search for them as you wander. The statue sits at street level, so watch out for passing pedestrians when you take photos.
