Apparently there was a lot of criticism of the monument when it was first unveiled. Not being familiar with any of Wyspianski's plays, I don't know whether the criticism was levelled at the way the characters have been represented or the style of the sculpture. Coming to it from an uninformed viewpoint I rather liked the solid, stoic characteristics of the figures.

The location, however, is pretty terrible. Outside the National Museum is fine but at the end of the car park outside the National Museum isn't! It simply doesn't do it any justice; it gives the monument a rather sorry aspect as it stares forlornly over the roofs of cars.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/6291
