Skeleton Street Art (22 Photos)
Skeletons are a big theme in street art, showing up in murals and graffiti all over the world. They can be spooky, funny, or even make a statement about life and death. This collection brings together some of the most eye-catching skeleton street art out there.
One cool piece comes from ItSkeletal, who places plastic skeletons in clever scenes. In Paris, an artist painted a wall with an eerie but beautiful skeleton mural. In Barcelona and São Paulo, skeletons are mixed into dreamlike street scenes, making the city walls come alive with imagination. In Mexico, massive murals honor Día de los Muertos, celebrating life with colorful skeleton art.
Whether they’re creepy, artistic, or full of meaning, these skeleton artworks show how street artists use bones to tell stories, grab attention, and turn everyday walls into amazing outdoor art galleries.

A line of skeletons labeled with different identities—race, religion, and more—yet all the same beneath it all. Except for the pirate, who stands with one leg, proving even skeletons have some character. The point? We’re all just bones. By ItSkeletal.
