A group of designers have turned the interiors of 30 taxis in Mumbai, in India, into works of art.

It's called the Taxi Fabric Project and the idea is to give new designers and artists to an opportunity to show off their work.

Taxis are a popular mode of transport in India so it's hoped lots of people will see them.

They feature all sorts of images from historic freedom fighters to life under the sea.

Each designer had to come up with an idea that could be printed onto fabric and then fitted into a taxi.

Each taxi has a label on show saying who has designed the fabric and explaining a bit about the design.
