Murals of Cuba MO
View a list of places like this or a map.We really loved the murals in Cuba. Every single one related to the history of Cuba in some way. Each one had a bronze plaque describing the mural. In the photos below, for each mural I start with the plaque, a view of the entire mural and then some close ups of parts of the mural to show more detail. Enjoy!
The "Uptown Cuba Historic District" is listed on the National Register of Historic Places; and the Missouri legislature designated Cuba as the Route 66 Mural City recognizing the merits of "Viva Cuba's Outdoor Mural Project" which guided by the advice provided by a renown Canadian muralist, Michelle Loughery helped outline this project and actually painted two of the twelve murals on Route 66 corridor; they tell Cuba's history from 1857 and its link to US 66.
