Culture vultures always have a field day in Los Angeles, thanks to the diverse culture that is the backbone of the city’s tourism industry. People don’t come here for shopping because you can do that in many other cities in the country. They don’t come here for the casinos either because that is what Las Vegas is for. When you are in Los Angeles, your antenna is always up for culture and relaxation.
Suffice to say that Los Angeles is very different from other cities in the country, granted that the people here come from many other parts of the country and the world over. And who can blame them? Los Angeles really represents a place where the cultural past and future meets. The City of Angels is a city where dreams are big and hope high. You can literally find and build your very own American dream right here. Just take a look at some of the murals in Metro Stations.
The mural on Union Station is the perfect depiction of that. The mural that passengers see when they alight from the train tells of how Los Angeles is more of a family home where people came together to build their dreams. It also speaks volumes about how Los Angeles came to be known as the City of Angels. The design of the mural was the brainchild of artist Cynthia Carlson.

In the meantime, another eye-catching mural would be the one at Westlake and MacArthur Park called El Sol or La Luna. Using a combination of dark forceful colors, the artist of the mural is trying to tell people about the origin of the MacArthur Park community. It is, by far, one of the most important landmarks in that area. When looking at the mural, one would also say that the artist is giving out the message of hope, tenacity, perseverance and endurance too.
Another awe-inspiring Los Angeles metro station mural is the one done up by Stephen Antonakos at the Pershing Square Station called the Neons for Pershing Square Station. The mural was done in 1993 and is one of the most beautiful ones that have had people gawking and taking pictures of it. Instead of merely painting the mural over a part of the wall, the artist used the structure of the station as a canvas and then painted the whole mural as a part of the building itself…which is no mean feat, we can assure you. it blends into the background without trying to hard to stand out, and yet it does so so effortlessly.
The murals are an integral part of Los Angeles and you should make an effort to go have a look at them yourself.
