The Warsaw Uprising Monument stands on the southern side of Krasiński Square in Warsaw, Poland. Sculptor Wincenty Kućma and architect Jacek Budyn designed it. Poland's communist government granted construction permission in April 1988, and the monument was unveiled on August 1, 1989. The article does not name a commissioner.
The monument is bronze and about 33 feet (10 meters) tall. An elevated group of insurgents fights in front of an abstract collapsing building.
A smaller group descends into a manhole. That scene refers to the evacuation through the sewers during the 1944 uprising. The article names both the sculptor and the architect, and it gives no client or architectural style.
