MAUSA on the Bitche - Musée d'Art Urbain et du Street Art — Attraction in Sarreguemines

Over priced at 10 euros for a project that was mostly unfinished. There was some very good work there, however it's hardly a museum. There is very little information about the artists or the work and the entire place seemed very amateurish. Mostly it's an abandoned building with some streetart. I spoke with a guy who said he was the owner, who told me that this was the biggest collection of street art in Europe (which was comical and a bit embarrassing). He also didn't really seem to know much about the artists or work on display. He did however talk at length about his vanity portrait that had been painted on one of the walls. The place reminded me of roadside attractions in the U.S., where you pay $5 to see the World's largest ball of string in an old barn. It was super disappointing and a bit bizarre. It was not worth the drive from Strasbourg. UPDATE. It was brought to my attention by some folks I know in the street art community that these projects have a long history of not paying artists and workers and being taken to court. Had I known this I never would have visited. I took what they said as rumors, but I have attached photos to my review and apparently everything I was...

On a recent visit, I have to admit I was very disappointed. I specifically went to see the work of several artists I admire. While the work was quite good it was diminished by the overall lack of detail in the project. Clearly, visiting artists have made incredible efforts to present the viewers with something special, however, The lack of organization and presentation really don't do the work justice and it seems perhaps the "Museum" staff really hasn't made much of an effort to create an environment that is particularly exciting. I understand the project is not complete, so perhaps in the future it will improve. In it's current state it is a disappointing experience that feels very...

Hardly worth the trip to Bitche. I had seen some photos and it seemed interesting. I had been told the project started over a year ago. It hasn't gotten very far. The building is quite large and mostly empty. The placement of the works seems very random and works that have very little in common are placed side by side. I found very little information about the artists or their work at the site. It has the feeling of a project that was started with great ambition and has since been abandoned....
