What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Visitors praise O+ Murals Midtown for its vibrant, community-focused street art that celebrates local culture. The outdoor gallery experience is free and engaging, offering a unique way to explore Poughkeepsie. Some wish for more information or guided tours to deepen their understanding of the art.
"This mural celebrates the Mexican and Black cultures of many Poughkeepsie residents. Serendipitously, many of these murals were commissioned in 2018, shortly after I got back from visiting Los Angeles, California, the American capital of street art that isn't considered graffiti. As far as coincidences go, I think that's pretty cool!"
