The home of Janusz Urbanski, a Polish miner and ironworker, is laden with delicate matchstick structures.

There is not a single structure that he sticks to. From full-size guitar to miniature stadium and truck, the quaint flat is nothing short of an artistic wonder.

There is a Great Wall of China, as well, which took him several months and 150000 matches to create.

Locally popular, Urbanski has not only displayed his work in the local museum, he has also donated a matchstick replica of the Holy Spirit Church to the parish.

Let's take a look at some of his works that speak of his mastery!
