The Wider Image: 11 million matches later
A combination picture shows Holy Spirit Church in Ruda Slaska and its replica made by Janusz Urbanski from matchsticks in Ruda Slaska, Poland May 4, 2016. Urbanski has a one of a kind chessboard he never plays, a personalised guitar he does not strum and a boat he cannot sail. Why? They are all made from tens of thousands of matches. For the last 40 years, the former Polish miner and ironworker has harboured a passion to build replicas of objects, buildings and famous sites with just matchsticks and glue.
