From Awatovi in New
Mexico to San Bartolo,
Guatemala, to the desert
cities of Peru, murals,
painted on the walls of
rooms and temples provide
a rare and unique look into
the past. In vivid colors, the
murals were sometimes bold
and threatening, sometimes
exquisite and sacred. Murals
were painted in palaces and
temples or small interior
ceremonial rooms.They were
the province of the few,
accessible to only a fraction of
society, though their subject
matter appears in many other
artistic forms.
Explore the murals of North, Central, and South America,
their sources and traditions, the
roles they played, and how their
traditions are carried on today.
