Get ready to discover one of Europe’s largest murals: the Mur des Canuts. This colossal display of public art measures a whopping 1,200 m² and depicts a scene of daily life typically seen in Lyon's La Croixe-Rousse neighbourhood.

The Mur des Canuts is one of the first and most famous murals created by Lyon’s CitéCréation art collective. Besides its impressive size, the mural contains countless intricate details that were painstakingly painted to the back of the building.

First unveiled in 1987, the Mur des Canuts features the trompe-l’oeil painting technique. The famous mural is occasionally updated to reflect changes in the neighbourhood, with the last modifications carried out in 1997 and 2013.
