Murals are often used to convey messages or tell stories about history, culture, or personal experiences. They can be used to educate, inspire, or simply beautify a space.

There are many different types of murals, including trompe l'oeil murals, which create the illusion of three-dimensional objects; narrative murals, which tell a story; and abstract murals, which are non-representational.

The Sistine Chapel ceiling is one of the most famous murals in the world. It was painted by Michelangelo between 1508 and 1512 and depicts scenes from the Bible.

Muralists often face challenges such as finding suitable locations, getting permission from property owners, and dealing with weather conditions. They may also face criticism from people who do not appreciate their work.

Murals are becoming increasingly popular as a form of public art. This is due to a number of factors, including the growing popularity of street art and the increasing awareness of the benefits of public art.
