Visiting the Wynwood Walls in Miami

Miami, Florida has an unbeatable arts scene and The Wynwood Walls are a perfect display of it. The area was not so long ago a run-down warehouse district, but some forward-thinking locals decided in 1996 that it would be a great place to feature the street art of local and international artists.
