Berlin baby, it’s the place to be.
Germany‘s pulsing capital city is a melting pot of culture. They’ve got the Berghain, Brandenburg Gate and more abandoned theme parks than you could throw a stick at. The city is also the most graffitied place in all of Europe.
And we’re not talking the kind of toy tags you might find thrown up on a Melbourne train… Instead, the street art scene in the eclectic city is sophisticated, with mind-blowing murals in all corners.

if u didn’t get a pic in front of this, did u even go to berlin?
And now, Berlin is honouring its street art culture with a five-story indoor-outdoor museum features 100 artists and is completely free.
Opening tomorrow (!!!) on September 16, the Museum for Urban Contemporary Art will be the the world’s biggest museum devoted entirely to street art. It’s located in the capital’s buzzing Schöneberg neighbourhood.

The museum will covers all genres of urban contemporary art, including graffiti, paste-ups, sculptures, acrylic designs, and other forms typically found in cityscapes.
Well-known urban artists, including Shepard Fairey, 1010, Evol, and Icy and Sot will feature and 30 more artists will cover the surrounding train tracks with installations.
The museum’s facade will be painted top to bottom in 8,000-square-foot murals. The coolest bit is that the murals will be created on transportable panels, meaning they can be rotated and archived.
