What’s it like to live in a painting? Residents of Pachuca probably know, as an entire neighborhood there has been decorated to look like a swirling, polychromatic galaxy.

Germen Crew has spent months prepping walls and splashing designs in the hillside district of Las Palmitas, located about 60 miles northeast of Mexico City. The result is a candy-colored “macromural” perfect for drawing gasps from airline passengers. A warren of paths deeper in the hillside will be similarly gorgeous, as Germen says (via Facebook) on “the inside there will be murals,” too.

StreetArt News has more about the elephantine artwork:

In an unprecedented effort, Germen Crew and the government of Mexico joined forces to rehabilitate and beautify the district of Palmitas in Pachuca in Mexico. This project englobes 20 thousand square meters of painted surfaces over 209 houses which will directly benefit 452 families and 1808 people!
