Although perhaps not all of equally great quality, the street art of Kaunas is actually a good attempt to enliven the city. In between the Old Town and the Art Deco buildings the murals and sculptures provide a welcome distraction from the architecture alone, and in most cases add significant colour to the town – especially on the day we were there, grey and overcast. I have selected a few examples of this open air gallery.
There is a map with a street art route, one of the ‘Wallographers Notes’, produced by local enthusiasts, I suppose, which is also available on www.kaunastika.lt (where you will find more maps, as well).
Next: Vilnius.
