Part of our Christmas family gift was to take a trip to Philadelphia to see The Barnes Collection. While there I had hoped to take a tour of Philly’s incredible murals. I have been saving so many links regarding Philadelphia’s murals that this now seems the time to post them in reference to this trip. Although we didn’t see as many of the murals as I wanted to see, we covered about eight, right around our spectacular Hyatt hotel on Broad Street<\/a> during a night walking tour after a late arrival and a delicious meal at XIX<\/a> (Nineteen Restaurant), on the 19th floor with an incredible view overlooking the city.<\/p>\n

What we all noticed was that these murals were predominately painted on sides of buildings in parking lots and next to everyday locations such as a neighborhood bodega and a Subway, which often made them easy to overlook until you wonder upon them. Luckily we had a map but even with that some were difficult to find. Before I post my pictures, I think it’s worth giving a little background. Click this Christian Science Monitor<\/em><\/a> article to see how these murals not only help to beautify but they are community builders.<\/p>\n

2. On Philadelphia Mural Base<\/a>, you can search by theme, artists, year, zip code, and area and their interactive map gives a good visual depiction of just how many murals there are in this “City of Murals.”<\/p>\n
