Talia's Bucketlist

Chicago has an incredible art scene and is full of beautiful murals, which is why I decided to give my Ultimate Chicago Mural Guide. The Chicago Mural Guide includes a location and some photos of the mural. There are still some murals that I have not visited myself but hopefully will in the future. Find a list of my favorite murals in Chicago here.

Flamingo Mural

The Flamingo Mural is probably one of my favorite murals in Chicago. I just love the combination of turquoise and pink. It definitely makes this mural and instagrammable spot in Chicago.

Gloves in February Mural

Also, a great spot for Valentine’s Day is this adorable wall with the quote ” I need you more than gloves in February”.

Address: 1873 N Damen Avenue, Chicago, IL, USA

Blue Mural Chinatown

One of my favorite parks in Chicago is the Ping Tom Memorial Park. First of all, because of the amazing skyline view that you have there and second of all because of the temple and the artwork there. The park also is not too crowded and gives you lots of opportunities to wander around. Also, it is right in Chinatown, which is great if you want to visit the park and eat yummy Asian food afterward.

Address: 1700 S Wentworth Avenue, Chicago, IL, USA (Ping Tom Memorial Park)
Artists: Anna Murphy, Chester Chow, Andy Bellomo

Photograph Mural

Recently discovered this wonderful piece of art in Wicker park.

Address: 1659 W. North Ave, Chicago, IL, USA

Greetings from Chicago Mural

When visiting Chicago, make sure to check the “Greetings from Chicago” Mural and make a photo there. I have seen the same artwork in Austin as well. I loved it.

Address: 2236 N Milwaukee Avenue, Chicago, IL, USA

Black & White Stamp Mural

I love this wall that looks almost washed out already. But it always makes a good backdrop for a nice Insta shot!

Address: 660 N Orleans Street, Chicago, IL, USA

Love You Mural

This is a newer piece of wall art, and I must say, I love the bright pink colors here.

Address: 1401 West Wabansia, Chicago, IL, USA

Moroccan Tile Fountain

Chicago has crazy winters that are very long as well. During this time, I love visiting Conservatories, such as the Garfield Conservatory. This is where you can also find this beautiful fountain that makes you feel like you are in Morocco.

Address: Garfield Conservatory 300 N Central Park Avenue, Chicago, IL, USA

Well, this is my Chicago mural guide. As soon as I discover new murals, I will update this blog post.
