A Celebration of Folklore and Film
Murugiah's creation draws on Chester's parade traditions and the iconic Rows. The mural, vibrant and whimsical, depicts a narrative where Murugiah's characters play amidst architectural marvels.

The mural is a result of Murugiah's dual expertise in both architecture and art – influenced by the Picturehouse's distinct aesthetic, seamlessly integrating itself into its cinematic environment.
The installation of the mural, led by Molly Mural's team, transformed the sketches into a grand-scale masterpiece. This event not only celebrated the mural's completion, but also marked Chester's newest artistic landmark.
