"Statue of Karol Musiol is situated just next to Opole's "Venice". Years ago there was a great music club next to the statue (Klub u Papy Musiola). Old citizens feel nostalgic when passing the statue as it is situated in the magic place"
Piotr Cierkosz
"Near the Młynówka stream, there's a monument to Karol Musioł, a distinguished citizen of Opole. In the 1950s, he served as chairman of the Municipal National Council, and it was thanks to him that the amphitheater was built, which has hosted a Polish song festival for years. The sculpture depicts a smiling figure of Papa Musioł, briefcase in hand, tie swirling above his head, on his way from the Voivodeship Office to the City Hall."
Maciej Borski
