ChemiS: A Global Street Art Star
Not only in Prague will you come across huge and at the same time stunning murals signed by the artist known as ChemiS. He created a touching painting of a Ukrainian girl protecting fairytale characters under the national flag (this artwork has been removed in September 2025). Not far from there (at the Otakarova tram stop), he made an admirable wall painting depicting lungs filled with animal and natural motifs. They symbolise health and clean air.
Another remarkable piece by ChemiS is a mural dedicated to the organisation Doctors Without Borders (at the corner of Nádražní and Vltavská Streets in Prague). Passers-by can scan a QR code, and the mural will transform into an animation.
Cosmos at the Airport
Near Václav Havel Airport in Prague, one of the largest outdoor paintings in the world has been created – it stretches 350 metres in length. This expansive mural is best seen during take-off and landing on the main runway of Prague Airport. The idea to beautify and visually enrich not only industrial halls but entire industrial zones came from the studio Drawetc and artist Michal Škapa. He also created the Universe of Jellyfish in Prague’s Karlín district.
Europe’s Giant Open-Air Mural Comes to Prague 6
Thirty Czech and international street artists will transform a more than 700-meter-long concrete wall on Vlastina Street into a monumental contemporary mural. Created between 15 and 30 June 2026 under the curatorship of The Chemistry Gallery, the project “Mural Ruzyně” will cover approximately 1,800 square meters and explore the theme “The Beauty of the City in Motion,” turning an ordinary urban barrier into a vibrant public cultural space.
Crystal Dragon in the Crystal Valley
In Františkovská Street in Liberec, you will find a mural symbolising the glassmaking tradition of the Crystal Valley, where the Crystal Valley Week festival takes place every year. A dragon melting its own tail with fire symbolises infinity and the connection of the past, present and future.
Murals in the Brno Bronx
The second largest Czech city, Brno, presents a unique project called the Brno City Gallery. It consists of 12 large-scale paintings on the gable walls of buildings in an area known as the Brno Bronx.
Walls Speak in Ostrava
Ostrava, a city with an industrial past, is considered the Czech capital of street art. In the city centre, one of the largest murals in Czechia watches over passers-by – the thirty-metre-high “Madonna Ostravica” by American artist Nils Westergard.
Olomouc, A Street Art Centre
Another hub of wall paintings is the university city of Olomouc, which regularly organises guided tours among its exceptional street artworks. In June, July and September 2026, the Street Art Festival will take place there.
The “King of Shoes” Baťa in the Underpass
The city of Zlín, forever linked with the name of Tomáš Baťa, also features its own artistic spaces. A street art wall (in the underpass on Dlouhá Street) pays tribute to the “King of Shoes”, entrepreneurs Jan and Tomáš Baťa, as well as Otto Wichterle, the inventor of nylon and soft contact lenses.
