Large paintings or artworks applied directly to walls, ceilings, or other permanent surfaces.
From Latin muralis meaning 'of a wall,' from murus 'wall.' The artistic term emerged in English in the 19th century, though the practice dates to ancient civilizations.
Murals democratize art by refusing to be owned - unlike paintings that hang in private collections, murals belong to everyone who passes by, turning public spaces into galleries.
