Now it’s Marilyn watching over the city

The Marilyn Monroe mural was painted by John Bailey in 1981 and restored to its original vibrance in 2001. It has gained fame as a Washington, D.C., landmark and is a stop on tourist tours around the city.

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by Pbase are decidedly
unsharp.

Good choice by the artist to have her chin raised so that she can look over the building.

I think it is extraordinary that you find so many beautiful murals, and you know how to present them wonderful Helen BV
