The Murals of Seward

As we walked around Seward, we noticed murals - murals here, murals there, murals murals everywhere.  They are on the sides of numerous buildings, on signs, on houses.  I don't know if this little town has more murals per square mile than any other city, but I would think it is in contention.  It is so fun to walk around, enjoying the different ones, trying to figure out the messages.


This mural is a history of Seward, including a tribute to Benny Benson, who designed the Alaskan flag and who was from Seward.  Is a person from Seward a "Sewardian?"


Each mural has some sort of dedication plaque or explanation accompanying it

The murals are on all sorts of buildings and walls - including round ones.
As we walked around Seward, we would look around us and marvel at the art work, the murals, the sculpture.  Art brings life to the city and makes it a fun place to be!
