Is this a museum guide?
Not exactly. art.kubus focuses on public-space discovery first: things you can find while walking. Use it alongside museum and gallery resources for indoor programming.
Public & street art
Discover public art near you
Public art is everywhere: sculptures, monuments, installations, murals, and city-funded commissions that shape how a place feels. Use art.kubus to discover local public art, plan walkable routes, and contribute missing works so others can explore too.
What counts as public art?
Public art can be permanent or temporary, official or community-led. It includes sculptures, memorials, murals, installations, and interventions that are visible in shared space. It might be a landmark commission, a small plaque, a light piece, or a temporary installation you can only catch for a season. The point is not to label everything, but to help people discover meaningful works where they already walk. A public art map becomes more valuable when it captures variety, not just famous landmarks.
Use a public art map to plan routes
Start with a few mapped works, then build a short route that fits your day. Combine parks, plazas, and pedestrian streets for easy navigation, and aim for three to five stops so you can actually linger. If you also want murals and painted walls, pair public art discovery with the street art map. City pages help you discover art in your city and compare coverage across nearby places.
Respect context and local rules
Public art is part of a living city. Be respectful when visiting works, avoid trespassing, and follow local guidance for photography and access. For street art, remember that murals can be legal commissions or ephemeral pieces. art.kubus does not encourage vandalism; the goal is discovery, documentation, and appreciation of public work.
Contribute missing public artworks
If you find a sculpture or installation that is missing from the map, submit it through the app. Keep details simple and accurate, and avoid personal information. Over time, those small contributions make it easier for others to discover public art nearby and for cities to see where cultural visibility is strong or missing.
Frequently asked questions
Do you include street art and murals?
Yes. Public art and street art overlap in many cities. Use the street art map for murals and painted walls, and the public art map for installations, sculptures, and monuments.
How accurate is the coverage?
Coverage varies by city and grows as the community contributes and verifies markers. Treat the map as a living dataset rather than a fixed directory. If you spot a duplicate marker or a wrong location pin, submit a correction so routes stay usable.
How can I add public art to the map?
Open the app and submit a marker for the missing work. A clear title, a short description, and accurate location details help others discover it.
