Street Art Utopia brings to our attention cement mixer trucks painted to resemble matryoshka--Russian nesting dolls. This particular one is in Budapest, the capital of Hungary.
In my mind, matryoshka are a traditional Russian handicraft. But according to a page maintained by the Russian Studies program at Macalester College, they date back to only 1892.
Painting a cement mixer truck is evidently not a one-off project, as Street Art Utopia has located photos of at least three such rolling artworks.
A commenter at that art blog points us to a cement mixer truck painted by Amsterdam-based artist Hugo Kaagman to look like the famed Delft porcelain.
