On which streets will you be able to see the large Nou Barris art murals?

BarcelonaStarting this Wednesday, Barcelona's Nou Barris district becomes an urban art laboratory where local and international artists will create up to seventeen large-format works, including paintings, sculptures, and light installations. The project, titled NOU Sentit Urbà, aims to "generate new attractions in the district and foster a sense of belonging and identity in the neighborhood," according to Barcelona City Council.
