Editor's Overview

PublicArtExplorer is a navigation application developed by Thomas Zell, packaged as a single Android APK of version 2.1 weighing in at 26.36 MB. The package targets Android 4.1+ and above. Below you'll find the publisher's own description, a quick spec sheet, and a short buyer-beware checklist so you know exactly what you're installing before tapping download.

Install Checklist

  1. Only download through the button on this page — never from third-party mirrors or shortened links, which are the most common way malware spreads.
  2. File size is a light 26.36 MB, so it installs quickly even on modest connections.
  3. This build is signed by "Thomas Zell" — always verify the developer name matches what's listed on the app's official store page before installing an update.
  4. After install, Android may prompt you to allow "Install from unknown sources" — approve only this one install, then revoke the permission in Settings > Apps > Special access.
  5. We link directly to the APK file or the publisher's repository; we do not modify the binary. Always run a virus scan after any sideloaded install.

About this app

Have you ever found yourself standing before a piece of outdoor art, curious about its story?
Or arrived in a new place wondering if there’s any outdoor artwork waiting to be discovered nearby?

PublicArtExplorer allows you to discover and explore public art around you in just two clicks. The app uses your location to instantly reveal nearby sculptures, murals, and installations, complete with detailed information about each piece and its artist.

PublicArtExplorer’s data is based on the open platforms OpenStreetMap and Wikipedia. Because these platforms are built and maintained by a global community of volunteers, anyone can contribute: if you notice missing details or discover new artworks, you’re encouraged to add or update information directly on OpenStreetMap or Wikipedia. This collective approach means that every contribution helps to improve the app for all users, fostering a shared, up-to-date resource that benefits everyone interested in public art.

## Key features

Show what's around and offer to show the details for each artwork.

Aimed at providing low barrier access to public art as well as instigiating people to add missing information to OSM and Wikipedia for the benefit of others.
