Street Art of Krakow

I recently spent a week in Poland. 

I'm still working on my posts about the time I spent there, but this post about the amazing street art is ready to go! 


There's a pretty big street art scene in Krakow. 


Free Walking Tours even does a street art tour. 

I used their map that lists the city's street art and wandered around looking for some street art gems.

And I found quite a few. 

Doesn't this make you smile?

I don't think I expected to find such great pieces of art. 

This is outside a shop in the Kazimierz neighborhood.





This mural was created in 2014 during Krakow's Jewish Culture Festival by street art crew Broken Fingaz.


I turned a corner and found this.

Judah.

Amazing.

Created by Pil Peled, Israeli street artist, in 2013.

A small set of street food vendors are set up in a parking lot in front of the wall.

This is just across the street from Judah.






This mural was created by a Polish graphic designer in 2013.

It's on the side of the Galicia Jewish Museum.



Called Ding Dong Dumb and painted in 2011, this piece was created to "take a jab at the relationship between Polish culture...and the Catholic Church."

created by Italian artist, Blu

A little while back a friend asked me if I had a bucket list.

I answered quickly, but this topic keeps coming back to mind.

Bucket lists became a discussion piece after Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman starred in The Bucket List and set out on a journey to accomplish some of their great dreams before the end of their lives.

Then the expression #yolo was added to our vernacular.

I used to dream things I once thought impossible for my life.


~traveling the world.

~learning a second language.

~living a life based more on experiences than material goods.


So when I answered my friend,

I replied, that I did not, in fact, have a bucket list.

I can offer this as explanation.



Do you have a bucket list? If so, what's on it? What have you already crossed off?
