Focused on public works
Discover sculptures, monuments, and installations in plazas, parks, and cultural routes. Use marker-based navigation to find works you can visit in public space, from historic memorials to modern commissions. When you are exploring a new area, start with a few nearby markers and let the city guide the rest of the walk.
Useful for planning and walking
Build your own local route, find works near landmarks, and use city pages to continue exploring region by region. The map works best as a walkable plan you can follow on foot, without needing a full itinerary. If you are short on time, pick one district and aim for three to five stops, then leave room for detours.
Community keeps it fresh
Contributors can submit new public artworks so the map improves over time with better local coverage. Small edits matter too: clearer titles, better descriptions, and respectful notes help others discover local art more easily. If a work has moved or changed, updating a marker helps keep the public art map useful.
Combine with street art discovery
If you also want murals and painted walls, open the street art map. Public art and street art often overlap in the same neighborhoods, and using both views is the simplest way to discover local art in your city. Explore respectfully, avoid trespassing, and treat the map as a public-space guide rather than a private directory.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between public art and street art?
Public art often includes installations, sculptures, and commissioned works in shared space. Street art often includes murals and painted walls. Many cities have overlap, so exploring both maps gives a fuller picture. Start with public art for landmarks and installations, then switch to street art when you want painted walls and neighborhood routes.
Can I add a sculpture or installation to the map?
Yes. Open the app and submit a marker for the missing work with a clear title and accurate location. A short description about what you are seeing is enough. Keep details public and respectful so others can discover it without any private information.
Is coverage complete in every city?
No. Coverage varies by city and grows as the community contributes and verifies markers. Treat the map as a living dataset, not a fixed directory. If you notice gaps, adding a few missing works is the fastest way to improve local discovery.
How do city pages help with discovery?
City pages add local context and quick links to public previews. They help you compare coverage and plan routes that fit your time, especially when you are visiting. Use them to pick a neighborhood, then jump back to the map to walk between nearby markers.
Do you provide guided public art tours?
Not as fixed tours. art.kubus gives you map markers so you can build your own route based on distance and interest. For curated tours, check local institutions, then use the map to connect nearby public works.
How do you handle duplicates or outdated entries?
The map improves through community feedback and updates. If a marker is duplicated, moved, or missing context, contributors can submit corrections. Keeping notes simple and public helps the dataset stay reliable as cities change.
