Now, who wouldn't agree on the fact that Melbourne is a cool place to visit? But, regardless of the fact about whether you are an art lover or not, these murals will open your eyes to a whole new meaning to the beauty of Melbourne! Here are the spots to discover.
Begin your exploration at the very corned of Johnston Street and Fitzroy street. You'll come across an extraordinary work of art by AWOL. The AWOL team consist of Li-Hil, Deams, Lucy Lucy, Itch and Slicer. Leisurely stroll through the street which will only turn out to be even more colourful as you go further. Oh, and don't forget to peek into every corner you find. You might find a few splashes of color to pleasantly surprise you.
If you are an artist yourself, you'll understand the significance of Rose Street even with its laid back, casual art culture and artist markets here. You'll come to notice a few stencils and a few large murals as well. This is an upcoming art hub as well.
If you are in for the sight of a fully undressed Kanya West in bed with Kim Kardashian and Taylor Swift, then you should visit Cubitt Street for a bit of an obscene work of art.
This is one of the most fashionable places in Melbourne to visit if you are staying at serviced apartments in South Yarra. It's a tiny café where the theme is of course art and murals. The highlight of them all is the one mural of pregnant Beyonce.
Hosier Lane is the most dynamic spot for art, famous for its ever-changing murals. This work of art that is 23 meters tall and overlooks Birrarung Marr is sure to catch your eye and leave you awe-inspired. If you need to catch a bite after all that art seeing, then head over to Duchess while you are in the area for a meal costing just 40 dollars on Thursday and Friday.
Yet another place to witness wonderful casual art, Caledonian Lane is an amazing site to visit. The walls are so colourful even the kids are bound to love it! Have a doughnut and coffee to re-energise as you continue to discover Melbourne's art.
For a quick splash of colour in your day, why not try heading over to Duckboard Place? A short distance away from Oaks Melbourne South Yarra Suites, it's a great place to explore with friends.
You'll see what real talent is once you've arrived at Rutledge Lane. Art here is simply insane with many talented artists taking walls as their canvas for spray painting. Also, this is a great place to indulge in some of the best food in Melbourne, so take your pick and taste something delicious too.
