Visiting The American Mural Project
Be inspired in a BIG way! The five-story, indoor mural portrays workers from all walks of life on a grand scale. Whether you take a guided tour, listen to the self-paced Mural Stories with our audio players (or your cell phone), explore the three viewing levels on your own, or all three—you’ll have an experience to remember.

Families
American Mural Project is a family-friendly experience. In addition to Family Day, AMP offers leveled scavenger hunts, I-Spy games, binocular loans, and a children’s area with books and puzzles—all included with your admission. Link to Family Days page.
When you visit, ask for the children’s scavenger hunts and I-See games at the visitor services desk. They’re a great way to engage your kids, connect them to the art, and start discussions about the significance of work and workers.
