Before embarking on a “street art safari” in Strasbourg, we generally begin by agreeing on a search perimeter of a certain number of blocks. Then we comb the streets, looking for a collage, a graffiti piece, a mural, or a painted power box – as if we were looking to spot wild animals on a photo safari in Africa. Whenever we find street art we haven’t seen before, we like to take the time to really examine the piece and figure out what it’s all about, before taking a snapshot of it – as a keepsake.
We love the wildly creative aspect of street art, as well as the accessibility of it, thanks to its presence in public spaces. This form of artistic expression is so much more than just a splash of color or a backdrop for the urban cityscape.
Here are 15 of our favorite street art pieces in Strasbourg
quai des Pêcheurs, Williann rue Déserte, Alëxone rue des Dominicains, Jaek el Diablo place du Quartier Blanc, DAN23 place Saint-Etienne, Manue Monteiro pont Saint-Thomas, Missy rue Kageneck, Stew rue du Jeu des Enfants, DAN23 petite rue de la Course, Jaek el Diablo rue de la Course, Jaek el Diablo rue de Saales, Myse rue Joseph Massol, Stom500 rue du Jeu des Enfants, Felix Apaiz Wysocki rue du Jura, DAN23 rue de la Manufacture des Tabacs, Mesk1/QMRK

I remember reading an article about how the rue du Jeu des Enfants was transformed, mainly by the residents themselves.
