STREET: The world's largest street art museum in North

The Street Art Museum will be twice as large in area as the famous Turbine Hall at Tate Modern in London. At the moment, construction is still in full swing to open the museum this fall. All artworks will be created especially for the museum. Huge street art works that far exceed Rembrandt's Night Watch in size. The largest so far is Telmo Miel's work, which measures five by twelve meters. Using old cranes, the works of art will soon be presented side by side in the industrial environment of 24 meters high.

Peter Ernst Coolen, initiator of the Street Art Museum: ,,Street art has long been an integral part of our streetscape. Street art is considered by art critics worldwide to be the most relevant art movement of the moment, but because this art form is primarily created on the street, it is also transient. Through our collection, we want to not only capture an image of the times, but also bring it together in one place."

To introduce the museum, world-renowned Brazilian artist Eduardo Kobra was invited to provide over 24 high facade with the portrait of Anne Frank. The colorful artwork is a great eye-catcher of the area and promises much good from what we will soon see in the NDSM shed.
