What Lifts You Mural
You can find one of the town’s most famous photo ops in The Gulch neighborhood—a pair of intricate white lace wings against a black wall. There's usually a line, so go early in the morning or late in the day for fewer crowds. Try to find the easter eggs that the artist put into the mural: a cowboy hat, guitars, and barbecues to represent Nashville. Explore other street art in Nashville on a mural art tour—you'll see lots of other great sights, with plenty of time for photo ops.
