The statue of Ignacy Łukasiewicz located in front of the Krosno City Hall is a work of Jan Raszka, an outstanding sculptor of the interwar period.

The statue was originally unveiled in 1932, on the 50th anniversary of the inventor's death. It was a big celebration. Over 100,000 people took part in the ceremony! For comparison, Krosno had a population of 18,000 at the time.

The figure of Łukasiewicz is cast in bronze and stands on a granite pedestal. He points his finger onto the source of oil. This is probably the oldest piece of work depicting the inventor. The monument was destroyed in 1939. After the reconstruction, it was unveiled again in 1973.
