About the Latest El Mero Muro
The Mexic-Arte Museum’s El Mero Muro is a mural program located on the exterior wall of the building on 5th St. and Congress Avenue. Conveying powerful messages of relevant issues, the outdoor murals of the Museum are in a unique and highly visible area of downtown Austin. The Museum’s most recent collaboration has been with a former Changarrito artist, Bieke Campos. “Nuestro Jardín” is Bieke’s first mural, and it beautifully depicts the 2025 Viva la Vida theme, “Flores de la ofrenda,” and highlights marigolds, cockscombs, chrysanthemums, carnations, and baby’s breath.
