Turning walls
of a city into a giant sized painting is an idea that has been
kicking around in history for a long, long time. This book documents
mural art in both rural and urban Minnesota. These mural have
been created by professional artists as well as sign painters
and neighborhood amateurs who paint a wall as a group activity.
After a recap of the history of mural painting Moira Harris maps
out where each of the murals are with the photographic display.
Brief biographies are included for the muralists that were known.
The
United State Information Agency selected Museum of the Streets
to be a part of the "Visual Arts USA Exhibit" (1987),
representing the best in American Publishing, and was exhibited
in 50 countries throughout the world.
