Orleans is also recognized for its distinctive street art, primarily featuring mosaic tile pieces found above most street signs. Artists like Mifa Musa and Tag Lady are credited with these creations, which often relate to the street names, such as a crown above 'Rue Royale.' The art adds a unique and engaging element to exploring the city.
“So sometimes they really relate to the street names. So you'll have a street like Rue Royale and it'll be a little mosaic of a crown on top of that.”
“but then sometimes they don't make sense. We lived on a street called Rue de Grand Champs, which translates to like the great field, the great plains. and the icon that was on top of our street name was Homer Simpson.”
“But really fun just as you're walking around like every time you pass a new street, look up and try to find the street art that they have there. is kind of a cool thing to hunt for as you're traveling around.”
