Who Painted The Denver Airport Murals
The Denver Airport Murals are two murals on permanent display at the Denver International Airport. As a collection the murals are titled “In Peace and Harmony With Nature.” The larger two-piece mural is titled “A Hopeful Future in which Humanity Rehabilitates the Environment” and the smaller two-piece mural is called “The Present State of the Environment.” The murals are designed to depict the current state of the world and contrast this with a better future.
