Description
Discover the incredible public art of South Philadelphia on this group walking tour. Join your local expert guide as they explain the history of each piece and how it all blends together into a magical tapestry that drapes across the entire city.
Your guide will lead you past a series of larger-than-life murals while you learn about Mural Arts Philadelphia, the country's largest such organization. They have created thousands of murals throughout Philly, and this tour features some incredible examples.
Down each alley and side street are lines of mind-bending mosaics that are easy to get lost in. You will eventually be led to the gates of the Philadelphia Magic Gardens, a mosaic labyrinth created from an abandoned lot by local artistic legend Isaiah Zagar. Your tour will end with your admission into this wonderful exhibit, which you will be able to explore at your pace.
