 Mural at the Contemporary
Does anyone else think the giant mural at the Contemporary is dated and ugly?

What, you don't think it's contemporary? 
I've never really cared for it, but it's a classic. I'm not sure how I'd feel if they changed it.

CR Mosaic
Not at all, its the largest mosaic in the world. That alone will make it pass the test of time.
Trips planned for 2016......
January..... Offfsite... Golf outing

It was supposed to be a contemporary piece of art when the resort first opened. Now it's kind of retro. It should always be a part of the building

I really like it. I can't wait to stay there this year so I can pull up a chair and study it a little more (maybe find the three legged goat). I think it's somewhat gaudy but so are a lot of things at the Contemporary.

I didn't like it until Mary Blair passed away, and I did some reasearch into her artwork. She was amazing! So now I have a soft spot for it.

While it seems to be a bit outdated it would not be the Contemporary if it was not there. I can not imagine it being gone. I do like to look at it, it is just special.

It's not three legs, it's five. See him here (sorry it's blurry)!

It may look a bit dated but its a mural by a Disney Legend. Two of her other murals were lost years ago and this one remains at WDW. Its got to stay as a work of art by one of the Disney greats.

I love that mural!!! Its a classic that brings me back to my childhood and fond memories of taking the monorail to MK (which at that time was WDW).

I couldn't imagine it being gone. I am not a huge fan of the Contemporary, but I have wonderful memories of it from staying there as a child. Losing that mural would be like losing part of my past.

agreed. It's a classic and has to stay. I like it. Maybe it is dated and gaudy, but I always enjoy seeing it.

I agree--the mosaic may look a bit retro now, but it is a work of art and should be left in place.

I agree with a lot of others. It's a classic. Gottta keep it.
I actually think the Contemporary itself is retro now, and the mosaic fits right in.
-
I love it!
I like Mary Blair's work- and this mural is terrific.
And I enjoy pointing out the 5 legged goat to newbies!

My family took a good long look at the mural this past December when we visited the Contemporary. It is very unique and interesting to look at. While I don't particularly love it, I don't think the Contemporary would be quit the same without it.

 Mural at the Contemporary
Art and craft work is not dated because it is old. The mural is an incredible piece and I am amazed each time I see it. 
-
I agree with the majority here. I can not imagine going to the contemporary and not see it there. It would definitely just not be the same. I try to go to the Contemporary every visit to Disney, remember staying there as a child and one will stay there again in the tower.
