Murals of Minnesota
The Largest Picture Puzzle in the World
The Murals Project of Minnesota began as an effort to draw more tourists to Wadena, and has accomplished that much and more after several years of work and the collaborative efforts of many talented artists, donors, and volunteers. Wadena’s striking murals now make up over one hundred pieces of the Largest Picture Puzzle in the World!
Wadena’s Alley Art Institute, a non-profit founded in 2004, attracted over forty artists, two hundred volunteers, and three hundred thousand dollars worth of donated materials and time to produce the fantastic murals that now fill the town.
Wadena’s impressive murals celebrate local culture and history, and feature themes like heroic and famous characters, wildlife and scenery, immigrants to America, and scenes from Minnesota’s past. The murals reflect a variety of rich artistic styles, and include paintings, mosaics, and mixed media art.
Visit Wadena to see some of its wonderful murals for yourself!
