Butterfly Specimen Boxes Painted as Multi-Story Murals by Mantra

Wiener Schmetterlinge, 2017. Wien, Austria.
France-based street artist Mantra has been unveiling a series of trompe l’oeil murals that convert the facades of commercial and residential buildings into larger-than-life butterfly display cases in Spain, Austria, France, and Bogota. Seen here are a few pieces from the last year, but you can explore a bit more on Facebook.
