Wall paintings in the Hanseatic cities
Murals. You can find them in many cities! But in our Hanseatic cities they are really a must. They are metre-high and in keeping with the Hanseatic tradition: a mix of "then" and a nod to the present. The murals are all a bit related to each other. The basis is a photo of two people from the Hanseatic city in question wearing clothes from the Hanseatic period, with a twist to the present. Discover for yourself at each mural what that twist is.
