Murals are a pretty neat form of artwork. Did you know they date all the way back to 30,000 B.C.? The first murals were cave paintings, but you can occasionally find them in modern-day cities on the walls of buildings. If you’re in the mood to check out some art on a beautiful day, it’s certainly pleasant to walk out in a lovely city rather than strolling through a museum. One great mural walk in Connecticut can be found in the charming coastal city of New London.
