mural
Art on walls
A mural is a large painting or artwork applied directly to a wall or ceiling.
Unlike framed paintings, murals are integral to the architecture: The building's exterior features a mural depicting the neighborhood's history.
Murals range from ancient frescoes to modern street art.
As an adjective, mural means relating to walls: mural decoration.
