North Carolina Belongs to Children mural installed.

Created by artists James and John Biggers from Gastonia, this 1994 mural reads like an unfolded map of North Carolina.

Inside the quilt-like design are the topography, industry and symbols of the state from the mountains to the coast.  The lower register depicts children playing with toy models.  Each toy refers to a particular aspect of North Carolina’s history and culture.
