You'll feast your eyes on The Cat Alley! The Hague Street Art's project full of cat tricks on the walls of The Hague's Achterom side street is now a much-loved hotspot.
The Cat Alley
Achterom is a side street between Kettingstraat and Passage. Recently, the municipality of The Hague refreshed the image of this alley with lighting, greenery and new paving. They commissioned The Hague Street Art to design street art with a humorous touch. And they succeeded! Since 2020, the street has been a colourful and cheerful Kattensteeg.
Street artists Marilou Klapwijk, SOGO, Dünya Atay and Zesta&Page33 have incorporated their own recognisable style into the cats. The scenes are connected as one with scratching posts and a ball of wool. At least... If the mice are not up to no mischief ;)
