Hosier Lane
Hosier Lane is a narrow alley in Melbourne, Australia, filled with colorful murals and street art. The passage changes constantly as artists paint over previous works, creating an ever-evolving display of creativity.
The alley became a hub for street art in the 1980s when local artists began displaying their work on its walls. Since then, it has grown into a world-known art destination that attracts artists from around the globe.
Access to the alley is free and available anytime since it's a public passage. It's best to visit early in the morning or on quieter days when there are fewer visitors and you can photograph the artwork more easily.
The artwork here is not permanent—pieces are regularly painted over, sometimes within days or weeks. This means each visit offers a fresh visual experience and no two visits look exactly the same.
