Hospital Murales

In one ground-floor corridor of Molfetta's hospital, free reign was given to creativity.

The walls, ceilings, doors, posts and even the radiators have been covered with a delightful and colorfully magical scene.

Even the benches have gotten in on the act!

Murales molto particolari direi. Apprezzo molto la volontà di colorare e rendere più allegro un luogo di sofferenze.
Carino il clown... a cuore aperto, per non parlare della balena crocerossina!
(PS: mi auguro che la tua visita all'Ospedale sia esclusivamente a fini documentaristici ;)

Aww! These are so fun and colorful! Is it the children's wing or the nursery?

Rob - si sono allegri, vero? E' così inaspettati! Non ti preoccupare, era stiamo tutti bene!

Hilda - actually, no, it's not the children's wing, it's just an entryway on the ground floor!

This is very good. Cheers the place up and much better than a white hospital wall. I think they have murals like this at Cheltenham General Hospital but they aren't as good as these.

Very funny! If this is an entryway how can be the children's wing?
By the way you gave me an idea for my next post, thank you...

I would love to see this around Ramsey to brighten the place up under the recession.
