LOVE mural — Attraction in Washington

Title: A Quiet Beacon of Love Amidst DC's Hustle

Last month, on a serene Sunday afternoon, I made my way to the vibrant DC Love Mural, nestled in the heart of Blagden Alley. This walk turned into a delightful exploration, allowing me to discover the mural and other striking murals sprinkled throughout the area. Created by Lisa Marie Thalhammer, an ardent local artist and LGBTQ+ activist, the mural stands out with its bold, rainbow-colored letters spelling "LOVE."

Although part of the DC Alley Museum, I found the museum closed during my visit, which limited the experience. The alley was surprisingly quiet, without the usual throng of visitors or the buzz that big attractions usually have.

The Love Mural is more than just a photo spot; it symbolizes acceptance and the transformative power of public art. It's worth visiting for those who appreciate art that inspires and connects communities—four stars for this beautiful yet...

Keep spreading...

A great spot for a photo opportunity with friends and loved ones. Those who created the mural have a goal to recreat it in all 50 states and even outside the USA. It's a well done mural painted on rollup garage doors. It is free to visit, and there is barely...
