About this trip

Philadelphia doesn’t shy away from extravagant color! The love for mosaics began with Isaiah Zagar, with Magic Gardens being dedicated to his style. “The Dream Garden” mural will keep your eye as light hits thousands of pieces of glass, and Mural Arts Philadelphia gives space to new artists.
