outdoor mural

Building-side art

An outdoor mural is a large painting or artwork applied directly to an exterior wall or surface.

Unlike indoor murals, these are designed to withstand weather and are typically visible to the public—on building sides, underpasses, or fences.

Outdoor murals often serve as community art, political expression, or urban beautification: The neighborhood commissioned an outdoor mural celebrating local history.
