Welcome to the Famous Mural Trail

The Alabama Mural Trail aims to provide the state of Alabama a sense of community, to drive economic impact, and to bring people together. This statewide trail encourages both locals and tourists to discover Alabama off the beaten path. The trail offers a diverse set of murals in both urban and rural areas around the state. When exploring the trail, travelers might find depictions of everything from a historical display of the Civil Rights Movement to a scene from To Kill a Mockingbird to a set of angel wings. There are murals in 27 counties to be explored.

Something as simple as color on a wall can strike inspiration, bring joy and unite people. There are many types of murals that can let creativity run freely.

• A recognition mural can highlight important aspects of the community like history or local heroes. These types of murals will resonate with members of the community. 
  

• Gateway murals feature the name of a city, neighborhood or place. These encourage people to stop on a road trip to document their location and spend some time or money in a community.
  

• Some murals are simply art—these are the murals that inspire and evoke feelings. They could be abstract, realistic or even feature a phrase. They could appeal to anyone regardless of their personal background. 
  

• Interactive murals are a subset of art murals. They allow people to interact with the mural—perhaps they are standing in front of a set of angel wings that look like they’re sprouting from their back.
  

Visit these Sweet Home Murals for a taste of art, culture, and a love of Alabama. If you’re out and about and find a mural with the Alabama Mural Trail marker in the corner, be sure to snap a picture in front of the mural, tag @alabamatourist on Facebook and Instagram, and use #SweetHomeMurals.
