Greetings to all my friends, how are you ?. Thank you to the Street Art Community. Participate in the Street Art Contest. The mural is located in the Yogyakarta City Museum area, a special region in central Java.

Yogyakarta is steeped in art and culture or the heart of Javanese culture. Such as dance art, batik, wayang kulit, gamelan music which are still preserved as cultural heritage to this day.

I tried to look at the mural, but it was slightly obscured by trees and branches, but I could still see the shape of the mural. The wall is L-shaped and the mural partially follows the shape of the wall.

The theme of the mural is promote Javanese art and culture. Maintaining the values of art and culture is manifested in the wall painting. I saw someone making batik along with the tools and materials for batik.

Children are playing the role of learning Javanese dance using scarves using cloth. Dance art using properties called the game kuda lumping, in the mural they are making handicrafts in the form of wayang kulit and children are playing with wayang kulit.
