Kyiv is a city with a centuries-old history, rich in ancient architecture that adorns the city. However, there are many Soviet-era buildings in Kyiv, which can’t be characterized by a special architectural style and which obviously do not beautify the city exterior. Street murals are a new tendency, or rather, an art form, that allows to make the gray walls of Kyiv bright, colorful and unusual.

Kyiv is gradually turning into a modern open-air museum. The real stream of creative energy from artists around the world pours out on the streets of Kyiv. Year by year, more and more eye-catching murals, installations, sculptures appear in the city.

The first wall paintings appeared in Kyiv in 2014. Since then, 28 artists from different countries have created over 140 murals on the walls of urban buildings. Three of them in 2017 were included into a list of the best artworks in the world.
