Budapest Street Art

Budapest is hardly a player on the European street art scene, and most of the time what we see on the streets are tags left by teenagers on the walls and doors - too boring to be even considered art.

However, something, sometimes is happening on the streets of Budapest. Take a look at we've come across recently.

This one is the oldest of all. The wall of ELTE University on the Muzeum krt is covered with "art" from as early as 1884. It remained untouched even after the major renovations. Some anthropologists believe that this coat of arms of Budapest Public Transport Company was left by the bored switchman who was servicing the nearby tram lines.
