One of our more visible murals that nearly everyone sees who goes downtown is that pillar support which Scott Murphy painted to look like the spines of books in that public area beneath a portion of the library. A few of the selected books there are by local authors, which is especially cool.
Today I wanted to highlight another favorite Scott Murphy mural, this one on the interior of the Depot in the vicinity of the theater there. It's in a circular space so that the wide, horizontal painting curls around you. The photos here are in order from left to right, with many familiar Duluth landmarks. How many do you recognize? Take time to enjoy it next time you are in the Depot. In addition to people and places, you will see a few a few amusing Murphy trademarks...
The Duluth Art Institute Member Show is in the Great Hall and three exhibitions upstairs in the galleries. If you go, be sure to also take a few minutes to take in Scott Murphy's wonderful gift to the community.
