LE MUR Luxembourg | Ville de Luxembourg

Introduction

Inspired by the "MUR Oberkampf" in Paris, where more than 300 artists have left their mark over the years, and following on from the graffiti project at the ventilation tower at Place Guillaume II, "LE MUR LUXEMBOURG" features temporary works of graffiti and street art in a range of styles on its 30 m² urban canvas.

Rue du Fort Neipperg

The LE MUR Luxembourg urban art project was launched in March 2022, in collaboration with the non-profit organisation I love Graffiti and, since then, more than 13 spray can masters have left their mark on the gable wall at 23, rue du Fort Neipperg.

New location in Rue du St-Esprit

Due to the extension of the Rocade building, LE MUR was moved to a new location in Ville Haute, where it now occupies the façade of the Lëtzebuerg City Museum at 14, rue du St-Esprit. The new location of the "Modulable - Urbain – Réactif" (MUR) concept is expected to unlock new potential for the LE MUR Luxembourg urban art project, while providing it with a home in the heart of the city centre.

Artist currently featured: SARE

The work of young Luxembourg graffiti artist SARE, who is passionate about typography and colour, is currently being showcased on Rue du St Esprit.

SARE

His lettering – which sometimes boasts vibrant colour combinations, and at other times revels in monochromatic palettes – has a futuristic feel and reflects his extensive graffiti skills. SARE's lettering – an artistic form of font design – stands out due to its particularly elegant and innovative style. In urban art, lettering has evolved beyond the simple act of writing; it has become a form of visual communication that plays with lines, shapes and colours. Distorted lines and stretched, dynamic movement convey the emotions of the "writer" and become their own personal signature – an art form that SARE evidently masters.
