Downtown Murals Walking Tour

Buffalo is being transformed by murals, both outside and inside. Some are scenic, like “Wildflowers for Buffalo,” and some are geometric, like “Optichromie,” both on Washington Street. Some murals are sponsored by the Albright-Knox Art Gallery, such as “Noodle in the Northern Lights” on Tupper Street, while others are privately financed, such as “Greetings from Buffalo” on Ellicott Street. On this downtown walking tour, we will explore many of downtown’s murals. More murals are being painted each year, so this tour will evolve as new murals emerge downtown! 
This tour meets inside the lobby at the Hotel at the Lafayette at 391 Washington Street, at the corner of Clinton Street on Lafayette Square. This tour is approximately ninety minutes in length and approximately 1.8 miles of walking. Two-hour metered parking is available on surrounding streets, and the Adams Ramp is one block away at the corner of Washington and Eagle Streets. The Lafayette Square Station of the Metro Rail is one block away, across Lafayette Square on Main Street.
