More art in the streetscape

We want to enliven Helsinki by decorating distribution boxes around the city. Helsinki has more than 7,500 distribution boxes, and some of them have been landscaped through different cooperation projects. By decorating the distribution boxes, we want to cheer up the streetscape, bring joy to the residents and prevent unauthorised graffiti.

Locations of the painted boxes

Spotting the art distribution boxes in the city is a fun activity. Check out the locations of the painted boxes on the map below as well as some pictures of the boxes.
