What is a mural? For some people, trying to define “mural” is too academic. (“It's a mural if I say it is. ”) Tucson Murals Project needed to decide! Merriam-Webster. com: “applied to and made integral with a wall or ceiling surface. ” (Origin: Latin muralis, from murus wall) In practice, it's not that simple. . . Jerry Peek, Tucson.
