Art lives in the city - Messines Neighbourhood Circuit

Set off on foot to discover the murals adorning the façades of the Messines neighbourhood, as part of the L’Art habite la Ville street art trail.

As you wander through the streets, be surprised by monumental works that transform the urban landscape and each tell their own story, reflect a personality or capture a fragment of life in Mons. A variety of graphic worlds, colours and distinctive styles reveal themselves along the façades.

This walk offers a chance to discover another side of Mons, where contemporary art finds its place in public spaces and interacts with the architecture and history of the neighbourhood.
