Boulevard Vincent Auriol, in the 13th arrondissement of Paris, also called the "street museum", is a street filled with street art in various styles. In fact, for more than 4 years, 26 urban artists of different nationalities have painted murals on the buildings of boulevard Vincent Auriol.

This project called "Boulevard Paris 13" was completed less than a year ago. A map showing the exact location of each of the frescoes is available on the official Paris 13 project site www.boulevardparis13.com . After many attempts to invite street art to museums, today we have to think differently, street art being a street art, so it is the museum that we invite to the street. This is where Boulevard Paris 13 was born, thanks to the director of the gallery, Medhi Ben Cheikh.
This free open-air museum currently contains 32 works and was inaugurated in mid-June 2019.

A concept that seems to appeal to more than one, but works that cannot be admired easily. Indeed, some are more visible only in very specific places, for example we see the first frescoes at the bottom of the steps of the Chevaleret metro station, moreover it often happens that tourists come to the metro gate to admire the works.
