Together with New York, Berlin, Bristol and São Paulo, Melbourne is considered to be one of the street-art capitals of the world. The city is particularly famous for its stencil art, which can be seen in many of the CBD’s laneways as well as in inner-city suburbs such as Fitzroy, Northcote, Carlton and Brunswick.
Once looked upon as pure vandalism, street art in Melbourne is now being viewed as an asset, especially as it’s proving to be one of the city’s most popular tourist attractions. One of Melbourne’s most famous lanes for street art is Hosier Lane, located opposite Federation Square, where many acclaimed artists have exhibited their work.
