The world's most complete street art archive — built by the community

StreetArtWorldMap is a free, open platform for discovering and documenting street art, murals, graffiti, stencils, paste-ups and urban art of all kinds. Think of it as a living, breathing map of the world's outdoor galleries — one that anyone can contribute to and everyone can explore.

Every artwork on the map has been photographed at its real GPS location. You can browse it city by city, filter by style, find artworks by your favourite artists, or simply open the map and discover what's around you right now.

Street art is the most democratic art form on earth — created in public, for free, by anyone. We believe it deserves to be discovered, credited, and preserved.


Street art disappears. We don't want it to.

A mural painted today can be buffed, demolished or painted over within weeks. Street art is ephemeral by nature — that's part of its power. But that also means countless extraordinary works have been lost forever, with no record they ever existed.

We built StreetArtWorldMap because we believe that even fleeting art deserves a permanent record. When a mural comes down, it should live on — photographed, geotagged, credited, archived. A piece of culture shouldn't just vanish.

At the same time, so much incredible street art goes undiscovered simply because people don't know it exists. A world-class mural can sit one street away from where you're walking, completely invisible. We want to change that.


Simple to explore. Easy to contribute.

Discover on the map

Browse artworks pinned to their exact real-world locations. Zoom in to street level, filter by type or artist, and find hidden gems in any city on earth.

Discover artists

Every artwork is linked to an artist profile. Follow the artists you love and get notified when they create new work — anywhere in the world.

Your art, your profile

If your work is on the map, you can claim your artist profile — for free, always. Verification gives you an official presence on the platform: your own page listing all your documented works, links to your social media and website, and a verified badge so people know they've found the real you.

We believe artists should be credited. Full stop. StreetArtWorldMap was built to make that as easy and permanent as possible.

  • Preservation matters Even after the paint is gone, the artwork lives on here. We archive removed works so the cultural record is never lost.
  • Community-powered accuracy The map is only as good as the community behind it. We trust people to report errors, suggest corrections, and keep things honest.
  • No ads, no hidden agenda We don't sell your data or your attention. StreetArtWorldMap is built by people who love urban art — for people who love urban art.
