Banksy, murals, and the line between vandalism and art — how well do you know street art?
In 2017, a painting by former graffiti artist Jean-Michel Basquiat sold for over $110 million at auction, proving that street art has firmly crossed into the fine-art world. From the subway cars of 1970s New York to Banksy's anonymous stunts, this quiz spans the full history of graffiti culture, muralism, and urban art.
Each round presents 10 randomized multiple-choice questions drawn from a pool of 50, so every playthrough is different. You get instant feedback with explanations after each answer, plus a shareable score at the end.
You'll discover the origins of graffiti culture, learn about legendary artists like Banksy, Keith Haring, and Shepard Fairey, explore different techniques from stencils to yarn bombing, and find out which cities are the world's top street art destinations.
Banksy is an anonymous England-based street artist known for satirical stencil works that address politics, war, and consumer culture. Despite worldwide fame, Banksy's true identity remains unconfirmed. Works like Girl with Balloon and Love Is in the Bin have sold for millions at auction.
The answer depends on context. Unauthorized graffiti is illegal in most places and considered vandalism. However, many cities now commission murals and provide legal walls for artists. Museums and galleries increasingly exhibit street art, and works by artists like Basquiat and Banksy sell for millions, blurring the line between street culture and fine art.
Some of the most celebrated street art cities include Berlin (the East Side Gallery on the former Berlin Wall), Melbourne (Hosier Lane), New York City (birthplace of modern graffiti), London (Banksy's home turf), and São Paulo (home of Os Gêmeos and the largest open-air mural collection). Bogotá, Buenos Aires, and Bristol are also major hubs.
