Chemanius
- Canada's Largest Permanent Outdoor
Art Gallery
Chemainus,
Vancouver Island,
BC is world famous for its murals which decorate many of the buildings
making the town itself a model for many other Canadian, and generally
North
American communities. Over thirty historic paintings in very impressive
outdoor art gallery brings hundreds of thousands of visitors each year.
From just few murals in the summer of 1982, and lots of dedication,
this
beautiful little place and its successful downtown revitalization
project
literally put Chemainus on the world travel map. All murals are
copyrighted
and owned by The Municipality of North Cowichan. They are located
within
few blocks of each other and are facilitated by footsteps which lead to
every mural, plus walking tour map is available at the local Visitor
Info
Centre. You could also take "heritage tour" to see the murals on the
board
of a Chemainus Tours trolley. Click on the
image for more
info about murals and online tour. |
