The Great Wall of Los Angeles — Attraction in Los Angeles

The Great Wall of Los Angeles is a museum-worthy collection of impactful murals depicting monumental moments and figures from Los Angeles, California and U.S. history.

The artwork was made possible by numerous artists, people and organizations in 1974. The content of the murals ranges from World War 2, "Rosie The Riveter", Jewish Americans to labor strikes, Asian American achievements, and historic events related to racism, equality and social justice.

Signage and banners by the Social and Public Art Resource Center could be updated. Meanwhile, there could also be more notice of this place, as it would be obscure, if not for the Google...

A civic treasure hiding in plain sight! One of the longest murals in the world! It’s a supreme joy to walk along this relatively unknown half-mile-long mural and soak in the centuries of California history that are shown. There is so much passion and love in this mural, depicted from the perspectives of different cultural groups and different historic eras, and painted by more than 400 SoCal youth. I particularly enjoyed the panels on the migrant experience, the citrus industry, the birth of rock and roll, and the African American experience. This is a fantastic hidden gem in LA that lovers of art, history, culture, and diversity...
