Murals and public art are always a fun way to get to know Des Moines a little better. Artists’ displays tend to reflect the love that we have for our neighborhoods and cities. Whether you’re driving downtown, or heading out to dinner, the Des Moines area is booming with public art.
Finding murals in Des Moines is a great summer activity. They are fun photo ops with your kids, make great backdrops for family photos, can make up a unique scavenger hunt, and are a great way to visit the corners of Des Moines you may not visit on a regular basis.
