Nationally recognized muralist Wyland has painted a mural that is 400 feet in length and five stories in height (on the J.C. Penney's wall) depicting underwater whales with icebergs floating above them. The scene is particularly Alaskan because of the mountains of ice in the background and the fur seals shown resting on the icebergs. Elsewhere in the U.S., Wyland has painted humpback migrations and scenes of great blue whales (found in Pacific Coast cities along Hwy 101).

This is a very large mural on the side of a building that depicts Alaskan sea life and in particular a whale. It is beautiful work of art and worth a few minutes to view.
MoreI always enjoy viewing this artist’s work!! He really captures sea life in a fantastic way. Building is easy to find, located where you can really enjoy if from your car. It is just a really neat part of his wonderful wall art!!
MoreThis mural is right next to a parking area and only a couple blocks from the visitors center. A nice piece of art work.
MoreNot quite sure it’s as impressive as the one just in from the harbour side (near Pike’s Market) in Seattle, but a worthy effort nonetheless.
MoreIt’s a mural of whales painted on the side of a building downtown by the mall. While it’s pretty, do not go out of the way to see this.
