A bronze monument to a plumber or Chumil onlooker is located in the Old Town of Bratislava, on the sidewalk at the intersection at the intersection of Panska, Rybarska, Sedlarska and Laurinska streets. The author of the monument, Viktor Gulik, depicted the figure of a man who leaned up to his chest from a half-open sewer manhole and, resting his chin on his hands folded in front of him, looks at passers-by with a mysterious smile. It is believed that the sculptor paid tribute not only to plumbers and plumbers, but also to the Slovaks, who during the Second World War hid from the bombings in the city sewer.
Having appeared in 1997, the monument has become one of the symbols of the capital of Slovakia, near which there is always a line of people who want to capture it as a souvenir of tourists. At one time, Prince Charles was photographed with Chumil. If you look closely, you can see that the plumber's head is not a work helmet, but a cap with a pom-pom. There is an opinion that if you rub the onlooker's headdress, then your wish will come true, so the top of the cap is rubbed to a shine. The monument to the plumber became so popular that its analogues began to appear in different cities of Ukraine, Belarus and Russia.
