It’s Satwa like you’ve never seen it before.

A new initiative, dubbed ‘Dubai Street Museum’, has seen the suburb’s 2nd of December Street covered in a bundle of incredible murals from an array of different artists.

It’s not a temporary project though, no. It seems the Dubai Street Museum project is set to take place over the next five years.

The plan for the creative new project was approved by HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai.

Once complete, the artwork will no longer be contained in Satwa, and will found all over Dubai, creating some kind of city-wide outdoor gallery.

We’re not going to lie, some of the pieces are seriously cool…
