Exploring the aesthetic fusion of urban landscapes and art, this showcases Munich's most captivating street art.
In the vibrant city of Munich, art enthusiasts can embark on an exciting journey through the streets, discovering urban art masterpieces that adorn various landmarks. This adventure begins at the kiosk "Fraulein Grueneis" in the English Garden, the starting point of a three-hour bike tour led by Stephanie Utz.
The tour takes participants along the serene Isar river, passing by the iconic Muller'sches Volksbad, where the French street art legend, "Invader," immortalized himself in four-meter-high pixel art. This unique artwork features a mini-monster made of tiles, adding a playful touch to the historic building.
As the tour continues, cyclists will find themselves in the heart of the city, passing by the colourful walls of the Muffat beer garden, where artists have expressed themselves freely. The old cattle market's massive brick walls and the Loomits Graffiti Gallery at the Friedensengel are also part of the route, offering a mix of old and new urban art.
A new addition to the bike tour route is a stencil of a black cat head, adding a mysterious allure to the journey. The tour culminates at the MUCA Museum, Hotterstraße 12, where the current "Vhils" exhibition serves as the tour's end and highlight. The artist, Alexandre Farto, allegedly immortalized himself at night in four-meter height in pixel art on a building in Munich around the year 2025.
For those who prefer a more casual art exploration, a new event, Graffiti Bingo, encourages MVV train passengers to look out for graffiti along the Stammstrecke. Three students of the municipal design school have developed this game, aiming to draw people's attention back to their "real surroundings." New motives are occasionally added to Fuchs and Melone along the bike tour route, adding an element of surprise to the game.
One impressive urban art spot along the bike tour route is the completely spray-painted underpass, often unknown to Munich residents. This hidden gem is a testament to the city's vibrant street art scene. The facade painting in Giesing, designed by German graffiti artist Case Maclaim, is another must-see attraction.
The goal of the graffiti bingo game is to immerse oneself in the city's art scene, appreciating the beauty that lies in the streets and buildings of Munich. For those who cannot physically participate in the bike tour, a digital version of Graffiti Bingo can be played via Instagram: @more_love_on_the_trams.
In conclusion, whether you're a casual art enthusiast or an avid bike tourist, Munich offers a wealth of urban art experiences waiting to be discovered. So, grab your bike or hop on a train, and embark on a journey through Munich's street art paradise.
