Welcome!
To the Murals Around the World web site.
Murals
Around The World is a collaborative effort, in progress.
It
is being produced through submission of
mural photographs,
by supporters of the
arts worldwide.
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 - for
free! However, 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. To see it on YouTube click here.
The
purpose of Murals Around the World web site is to document murals from around the world. Only
commissioned, private or community murals; produced with permission from the
property owner, will be accepted.
 This site is
a work in progress and is currently under construction.
