As mentioned in part 1 – Sussex, NB is the mural capital of Atlantic Canada with 27 huge murals depicting local history scattered around the town’s major streets. We got a map for $2 from the information centre which goes towards the maintenance of the murals. After viewing most of the murals I can say the money is put into good use. The murals are very well maintained and are of good quality.

This is not one of the 27 murals, but this hardware store caught on and has its own artwork done and displayed. Very commendable.
