The so-called 'street art' in Lisbon was getting out of hand. After a long period of cleanups, Lisbon City Council finally decided to acknowledge graffiti and urban art as a legitimate form of creative expression and facilitate, support and institutionalize it.

And this is the result! Lisbon became a much better place to take a walk or explore.

Things were getting out of control

You could wake up with your van like this

Things were definitely getting totally out of control

Until one day, urban art became sponsored by the City Council. Nowadays, you're free to express your creativity on the city walls and beautiful paintings are popping up all over the city

    What's the story behind the red armless mannequin? Probably from the boutique and there's not enough place inside
