Art and Minneapolis are a match made in heaven.

There's so many murals around town and new ones going up all the time! This year alone has brought several new, huge murals!

The whole North Loop Green area is a big, amazing work of art. There's a new mural being put up right now in The Nordic Minneapolis! And this is probably a stretch, but I'm counting it because of the huge playoff run right now for the Minnesota Lynx the GO LYNX that was painted on 1st ave.

We know you've got some opinions on this, so let me know which are your favorites, or tell me which ones I missed that you love the most.
