Emily - Coit Tower Murals





Coit Tower was built on Telegraph Hill and the walls of its first floor are covered with Diego Rivera-inspired murals, painted in 1933. These frescoes were painted by 26 different artists and assistants who mainly were students and faculty of the California School of Fine Arts. If you search online you can find more photos of these murals and can see more of the political and other statements the artists incorporated into their work.
