Beauty in public ART
Huntsville is no stranger to public art and murals. Downtown even has a public art trail you can use to explore all that downtown has to offer, from murals of planets and space (we are the Rocket City) to Tigers and sculptures.
Coming soon to downtown Huntsville is a colorful art installation named Umbrella Alley. It will feature upside-down umbrellas of many colors to bring some light to all areas of downtown.
