Do you love street art and don't know where in Paris you can admire beautiful urban creations? You can wander the streets of the capital in search of a fresco... Or visit Art42, the street-art museum in the 17th arrondissement. An unusual place that you can visit free of charge once a month.
Art42 is a museum linked to École 42, a computer science school founded by Xavier Niel. This cultural institute celebrates urban culture, exhibiting 200 works by some 50 French and international artists. Inaugurated in 2016 on the occasion of the Nuit Blanche, the museum aims to break the codes of traditional art.
Art42 brings street art to a permanent cultural venue. A slight deviation that may surprise purists, but which allows us to enjoy great works in good conditions, and on a permanent basis. The museum's walls feature works by Banksy, Invader, Swoon, Jef Aérosol, JR, Kouka, Pimax, Speedy Graphito, Zevs, Blu, Eric Lacan, Seth, Ernest Pignon-Ernest, Miss Tic, Quentin DMR and many other street-art masters and young talents.
To discover this museum, you'll need to reserve a time slot: once a month, the museum opens its doors free of charge to the curious. If you can't wait, you can also book a group visit outside the reservation slots, for 15 euros per person.
Head for Porte de Clichy to enjoy this temple of Paris street-art!
