Les Bains was a nightclub in Paris that drew many big names back in the day like Kate Moss, Andy Warhol, David Bowie, Jean-Michel Basquiat, and many other icons. They partied hard within the walls up until the building was deemed unsafe and condemned in 2010 after terrible renovations.

However, the structure has new life; 50 internationally acclaimed artists have basically made the 3,000 square foot building their canvas, creating wonderful street art. Most of the works are large scale and quite impressive. People like FUTURA, INVADER, and Sambre will continue to create art there until April 30.
