Around the world, tourists are drawn to visit murals painted on
walls. Whether heritage asset, legacy leftover, or contested art
space, the mural is more than a simple tourist attraction or
accidental aspect of tourism material culture. They express
something about the politics, heritage and identity of the
locations being visited, whether a medieval fresco in an Italian
church, or modern political art found in Belfast or Tehran. This
interdisciplinary and highly international book explores tourism
around murals that are either evolving or have transitioned as
instruments of politics, heritage and identity. It explores the
diverse messaging of these murals: their production,
interpretation, marketing and - in some cases - destruction. It
argues that the mural is more than a simple tourist attraction or
accidental aspect of tourism material culture. Murals and Tourism
will be valuable reading for those interested in cultural
geography, tourism, heritage studies and the visual arts.
