Hutchinson has more than 40 murals that bring pride to the city. These murals boast of Kansas wildlife, the street art movement, the beauty of Kansas and its state symbols, Hutchinson landmarks and community stories. Mural tourism has become a fascination for many, and interest has increased in part because influencers have posted their photographs on popular social media. “It’s becoming a big deal,” said Jordan Roemerman, marketing manager for Kansas Tourism, “a movement that began outside the state, but Kansas has picked up on it and run with it.” She said, for example, music artist Taylor Swift had a butterfly mural painted in Nashville and now people will line up and wait their turn to have their photo taken by the mural.
