public murals
Outdoor wall art
Public murals are large-scale artworks painted or applied directly onto exterior walls of buildings, underpasses, or other structures visible to passersby.
Unlike gallery art, they exist in shared spaces and often reflect community identity, local history, or social commentary.
Cities commission public murals to beautify neighborhoods, deter graffiti, or commemorate cultural heritage.
The public murals in that district have become a tourist attraction.
