THE TOUR OF THE MURALS

The People’s Gallery is the name given to this stunning series of large-scale murals situated in the Bogside area of Derry. It is visited each year by thousands of people from all over the world, has appeared in countless art books and the murals that comprise it are among the most photographed in the world.
The Bogside Artists' Tour follows all of the 12 murals they created.
The People's Gallery was painted for all people, everywhere. They are not propaganda and not graffiti. They are classical art, built to endure because what they speak of is the universal human experience of man's inhumanity to man.
The People's Gallery is the realised vision of three men -The Bogside Artists.
Nobody told them what to paint or how to paint. Their work is free, creative, poetic expression. The People's Gallery therefore, more than anything, reflects the spirit and resolve of the people of the Bogside, the same spirit that inspired their long and determined struggle for civil liberties - painted by the people, for the people, to honour the people. If it is the murals that interest you, make sure therefore you get on The Bogside Artists' Murals Tour, the only tour that deals exclusively with the murals and the stories behind their creation…stories you simply cannot get from any other source. Admission to the studio is FREE.
The price for a tour is minimal. It lasts over an hour and has been said, by many to have been the highlight of their visit to Ireland.
