Description

From July 7th to January 10th the Cartier Foundation for Contemporary Art is hosting "Born in the Streets - Graffiti", an exhibition which explores the birth of graffiti in New York City in the early 1970s and how it quickly became a world wide phenomenon.

The exhibition extends from the interior of the museum to the outdoor walls and gardens and will include photographs, documentary videos and original large-scale wall paintings created for the exhibition by three of the movement’s most significant pioneers "P.H.A.S.E. 2, Part 1 and Seenby".

What better way to get teenagers into a museum than an art exhibition devoted to Graffiti and Street Art? I took my two children ages ten and fourteen and both of them really enjoyed it.

There were also a number of younger children having a good time playing hide and seek in the very relaxed museum garden. There is a tiny outdoor cafe completely covered in graffiti that sells inexpensive coffee, drinks and snacks.

I would definitely recommend this exhibition as a fun outing for the whole family.
