Monday Mural - Singing in the rain

I love murals and street art. If you like murals or have a mural you'd like to post, this meme is for you.  Just follow the Linky steps below.  Once you start looking you will find murals everywhere.                                                                                                        The "Monday Mural" meme goes live on Monday at 12,01am, Perth,Western Australian time. Be sure to link back to this blog and visit your fellow posters. Looking forward to your mural finds this week.     Thanks, Sami. 


At the Bunbury Regional Art Gallery, 64 Wittenoon Street was a colourful mural with lots of umbrellas hanging from the ceiling. Sadly I've been unable to discover the artist's name.
The umbrella installation was something done by the Museum, apart from the mural. 
It had actually started to drizzle by the time we stopped at the gallery, but we didn't have an umbrella with us...





The building housing the Art Gallery was built in 1897, and because it looked like a church to me, I discovered that it had actually started life as a Sisters of Mercy Convent and Chapel.

  3. I love the gingerbread on the building. I can see how it could have been a convent and chapel. Those umbrellas were really colorful. I like how the mural extends even to the doors to the room. What an awesome find.

  5. I particularly like this abstract and colourful motif on the wall. It is pure joy and the enchantment of colour. A feast for the eyes.
    I wish you a good and not too hot week.
