Really Cool Murals

At the top level of the visitor center at Hoover Dam, these murals are exhibited. They're fashioned from metal plates, and depict scenes from areas affected by the dam. I thought they were really cool! This is a California scene. You can see a mission; movie set lights; the classic Capitol Records building in LA; and the Hotel del Coronado.

This one represents Arizona. You can see Saguaro cacti in the distance, and up close the artist has depicted Saguaro flowers in bloom; the Saguaro is the state flower of Arizona.

This one is a recreation mural. There's a water skier and a tennis player, with one of the dam's intake towers as a backdrop. A lot of other fun activities are represented. I don't know when these metal murals, I guess you'd call them, were made; it wasn't when the dam was first built, as the Capitol Records building, among other things, wasn't there then. The modern skyline of LA is also depicted. So I would guess sometime from the 1960s to the 80s. Though these murals are newer, they correspond nicely to the fabulous Art Deco style of the dam in general.
