We’ve all seen those pictures of a hand with several layers of nail polish.

But have you ever seen 30 years of Graffiti in layers?

You see workers painting over graffiti all the time, so it doesn’t actually vanish. Just covered. PaulDeGraaf, an Imgur user recently posted images of a peeled off portion from a Graffiti Hall of Fame named “Doornroosje” located in Nijmegen, Netherlands. PaulDeGraaf shared, “What started as a 70’s Hippie cult place, became a center of music and art in the early 80’s. One of the first places where it was legal to smoke cannabis. It still a Music studio and Graffiti Hall of Fame. The building is surrounded by walls that are all spray painted from top to bottom.”
