The "Appel Wall"

A mural made by famous artist Karel Appel in the Stedelijk Museum for modern art in Amsterdam.
Originally it was seen in the "refreshment room" but after the renovation of the Museum fortunately the painting from 1956 is still there. More about the history of the painting you can read "here.
Linking to "Monday Mural"

  9. What a GREAT mural! I love the colours and the design. The link you provided contained some interesting information and history of the mural and its restoration. Love the idea of the flower over the window to allow sunshine to illuminate the design. Love this artist!!
