Whats more iconic than a 'hidden gem'...well this is it. Im not going to say its "truly magical" because thats cliche but its true. You can spend 10 minutes just looking at a square inch. Their story is inspiring. Happy to see this in Philly, but every city should have something like this or a concept of this.
Very beautiful. Went on a Sunday afternoon and really enjoyed. It was not too crowded and tickets are very affordable. There is so much to see and explore here. Would highly recommend!!!
It took the artist over 40 years to complete this piece and it leaves you wondering if there’s anything else like this. The vast amount of pieces and artistic graphics that were collected and shaped together over the years is simply astounding. It’s definitely a great way to explore art and share with the family. Pets are also allowed!
An art space made from mosaics of tiles, glass bottles, mirrors, and even bicycle wheels ✨ Every wall feels like an extension of the artist’s soul — full of freedom, imagination, and creativity. It’s truly a paradise for photography lovers! 📷💫
Fantastic art walk in the middle of South Street. We had a great time just strolling around and enjoying the mosaics. It doesn’t take more than an hour to see everything - we added on to the experience by going to see other mosaics in the area. The variety and diversity of the embedded artwork is really enjoyable. I greatly enjoyed it and would recommend a stroll if you find yourself down that way. Don’t forget to check out the bathrooms. Everywhere is art!
