Museum of Street Art, Zagreb
The Museum of Street Art, like any other street art exhibition space, doesn’t have a permanent space or opening times for its exhibitions. Therefore, its current whereabouts could easily transform when you decide to visit Zagreb. Moreover, it represents the continuous dialogue between the artists, citizens and city’s authorities.

In 2010, the Zagreb Street Art Initiative was taken under the supervision of internationally renowned Croatian artists and concluded one of its efforts by repainting the old graffiti-covered Branimirova street wall.

The idea of the project, which is to revitalize city’s everyday appearance, is consisted of three sub-projects. The first one, was to repaint the Branimirova wall, which was successfully done. The other two are still on hold. The second sub-project aims to revitalize one of many ruinous public spaces/old factories in order to make a 4-month international street art gallery, and the third one presumes a complete synergy between the street art and the city itself.

That means that once a year a collective action will help to transform negligent parts of the city, especially areas of Novi Zagreb, and remodel the map of conventional sightseeing paths which end in front of the Museum of Modern Art.

Taking all of that in notion, many citizens of Zagreb, eagerly await to experience new forms of more democratic concept of art and see how Zagreb transforms into more lively space of intersocial dialogue. The organization is called Muuzeja, a non-profit association of citizens central unit established in 2009, in order to promote, develop and improve culture and art, encouraging creativity and creating a platform for exchange of knowledge and skills.
