6,600 Mural Masterpieces Online

Art UK’s digital treasure trove captures fleeting urban art for posterity.

Explore Art UK's expansive online archive of over 6,600 street art murals, preserving the vibrancy and diversity of public art in England.


The database includes everything from Banksy-esque graffiti to large-scale compositions by renowned artists like Rogue-one and The London Mural Company. It spans centuries, with some pieces dating back to the 10th century, adding depth to urban landscapes.


Launched during a boom period for street art, the project not only documents but also protects these artworks from potential redevelopment threats. Art UK’s Public Art Manager, Tracy Jenkins, highlights the democratic nature of muralism: accessible, visible and sparking community engagement and debate.


By engaging with this archive, visitors can appreciate moments of artistic delight, playful creativity, and community pride that decorate city streets. So, next time you walk by a vibrant street, remember it might be immortalised in digital form.
