Experience the art of urban transformation with JR's innovative mural application that brings giant street art installations to your fingertips.

Discover the stories embedded in artist JR's mural projects, where augmented reality brings portraits to life by allowing you to listen to what each person in the mural has to say.

The app features five epic murals, with four belonging to JR's Chronicles series that explore how a city or issue can be portrayed through art.
Individuals choose how they are represented in their portrait and then share their thoughts, experiences, or messages in an audio booth before being photographed.
Download “JR:murals” to delve into the stories behind each portrait.
