Philadelphia: the City of Brotherly Love, but it could also be called the City of Murals. With more than 2,800 murals painted on walls all around the city, you can see buildings and neighborhoods transformed with images of heroes (from Dr. J to Frank Sinatra), beautiful landscapes or hope-inspiring scenes. The Mural Arts Program, run by the city, was started in 1984 in hopes of discouraging young artists from graffiti and encouraging them to express themselves in a way that would benefit them and the community. The result is an ever growing collection of art for the residents and visitors of Philadelphia to enjoy!
