Art 42: A New Era of Urban Expression
Art 42 offers a unique take on contemporary street art, showcasing post-graffiti art forms. Located underground, it covers 4000 sq metres and is home to around 150 artworks from artists like Banksy and Swoon.
Founded as an 'anti-museum', it diverges from traditional art experiences, emphasizing urban culture and space utilization. This venue emerged as a response to the lack of dedicated spaces for street art, especially given its growing significance in the urban landscape of Paris.
