Street Art Hunter Tracks Murals Across Europe
A dedicated street art enthusiast has been documenting murals across multiple European cities, including Manchester, Derby, Berlin, Montichiari, and Milan. The individual, who describes themselves as a regular traveller and seeker of street art, has verified that several artworks are still visible, though some have been partially covered by stickers. One mural, located in a neighborhood that closed in 2019 and was replaced by BLVD, may no longer exist and requires a visit during opening hours to confirm. Another piece was found to be covered over between July 2019 and November 2020, based on street view imagery. The hunter has reported these findings across six countries, including the United Kingdom, Italy, and Malta, and has contributed community notes to the street art platform. The search involved walking entire streets and using street view, but some artworks remain unlocated.
