Street art in Helmond
The most beautiful art in Helmond can be found on the streets. Throughout the city you will find murals, which we also call ‘murals’. Each mural tells a story about the city. For example, you can see a work of art by 16th-century painter Lucas Gassel on the library wall. The painting honours Helmond as a true textile city. Will you walk a street art route independently at your leisure? Or would you rather let a guide take you around? Either way, the search for street art is a fun way to see the city. After all, you will pass both prominent spots and hidden gems.
