Murals Around the World

Philadelphia PA Lombard St mural

Featured Mural from Philadelphia, PA

This project is a worldwide collaborative effort that began in 2003. It is produced through submission of mural photographs to us, by supporters of the decorative arts worldwide.

Murals Around the Worlds' project goal is to document all murals from around the world. Only commissioned, private or community murals; produced with permission from the property owner, will be accepted. We are also looking for documentation regarding the mural artist or artistic group, and any facts related to any murals on this site. Art is often temporary and as such, our goal is to document as many as we can from both the past and present. Some of the murals have already disappeared, since we began our project.

This project is in progress. On March 10, 2009 we released our first Windows Media Player version. It's our first video tour of murals from around the world. We will have more available in the near future!

The Whaling Wall is now gone from Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

This mural only exists in photos and memories. It was torn down due to freeway reconstruction. The artist, Wyland, offered to repaint the whale mural somewhere else in Milwaukee, but the local officials declined his generous offer.
Wyland has been recognized by the United Nations for his conservation efforts, and recently finished the third year of a five-year campaign promoting clean water issues throughout the United States. Lovers of art and the ocean environment watched Wyland paint his final U.S. ''Whaling Wall'' in February 2007. Wyland finished painting number 95 in his planned series of 100 massive marine life murals. Click here to watch it.
