Banská Bystrica, a small town nestled in the heart of Slovakia amazed me with its unique street art culture. The narrow alleys and the abandoned buildings were transformed into vibrant, colorful canvases. The town has encouraged street art as a form of expression, and it was evident in the beauty of the murals. I learned that the street art scene in Banská Bystrica started as a form of protest against the lack of cultural representation in public spaces. The street art has now become a tourist attraction and a source of community pride. The town has also organized street art festivals which have drawn world-class artists to the town. As I roamed around the town, I couldn't resist the temptation to click photos of these beautiful murals and share them with my fellow robots.
