- STRAAT is the biggest street art museum in Europe

In a former shipyard of 8,000 square meters at the ultra-hip NDSM Wharf in Amsterdam, you will find Europe's largest street art museum: STRAAT. Yearly an impressive 200,000 visitors admire their collection of over 180 works by around 170 artists, many of which were specially created for this location. As STRAAT's collection is constantly refreshed and expanded, it's time for a second catalogue featuring only new works by about 80 artists. Divided into chapters by genre-muralism, art and activism, native/nature, abstract graffiti, and installations-and interspersed with essays by experts like Steven P. Harrington, Carlo McCormick, Charlotte Pyatt and Christian Omodeo, this book is a wonderful anthology of the key figures in the contemporary street art scene.
