Amsterdam's well-known Artis Zoo has got a new look! Starting February 15, everyone can admire the so called "knit graffiti" - a street art about using fabrics to decorate objects in the streets.

It took more than 300 contributors of all ages and a few months but now, bridges, benches, statues and trees are beautifully decorated with colourful handmade creations.

March 16 is the last day of the "Art is wild" exhibition. Do not miss it!
