Chattanooga is home to many beautiful murals that tell the story of the Scenic City in an artistic, visual way. A new year gives us the chance to explore some of our favorite works of art that are just waiting to be admired.

Photos can’t always do these pieces justice, so we recommend getting out to see these beauties in person. Check out this map, you can consider this your handy dandy key to mural locations from all over the city.
