Mural Alley

Kuala Lumpur


In 2018 the city commissioned artists to transform previously gritty alleyways in the Bukit Bintang area with rainbow swathes of street art. This network of back alleys, part of which is painted to resemble a stream cascading through the jungle, looks particularly effective at night when the neon clouds above glow brightly.
