Skeletons have always been a powerful symbol in street art. Artists from all over the world use skeletons in their murals and installations to create art that is sometimes serious, sometimes funny, and always eye-catching.
This collection of 24 photos shows some of the most amazing skeleton street art. One standout is Kitt Bennett’s huge mural in Melbourne, where a skeleton is chilling on the ground, scrolling on its phone. Another must-see is ItSkeletal’s row of seven skeletons, each labeled with a different identity, showing that deep down, we’re all the same.
From colorful Día de los Muertos murals to giant skeleton graffiti making bold statements, these artworks prove that bones have a lot of life in them.
A line of skeletons labeled with different identities—race, religion, and more—yet all the same beneath it all. Except for the pirate, who stands with one leg, proving even skeletons have some character. The point? We’re all just bones. By ItSkeletal.

Two skeletons sit together, beers in hand, but the liquid spills right through their ribcages—drinking without a stomach has its challenges. A darkly funny nod to International Beer Day.
3.
One skeleton holds another’s spine—literally. Dark humor at its best.

A skeleton in a hoodie, arms raised, stands above a sign reading “Thoughts & Prayers”—calling out empty words after tragedy. A blunt take on empty responses to gun violence.
5.
A literal take on being ‘hung out to dry’—left exposed, abandoned, or just waiting to be noticed.
