Relocating the mural recently removed from the Department of Labor is an excellent move for encouraging business in Maine.
The mural is a historical information piece that shows how Maine workers used to live and work.
Artwork is something that is meant to be mobile and shown off. Look at art museums or art shows — they change all the time with new pieces of work.
The mural is a piece of artwork that deserves to be shown throughout the state, not just at the Department of Labor.
The mural shows how life for Mainers used to be and it should be shown in the Maine State Museum.
The mural is intimidating to businesses and should not be permanently showcased at the Department of Labor. Hardly anyone knew that the mural existed until it was plastered all over the media. The mural should be shown throughout the state to a variety of people so they can see what Maine workers had to deal with.
The mural shows historical information and should be displayed in museums, not government buildings.
