This is a postcard of postcards! The images incorporated were widely circulated at the time. You can see Boise’s first City Hall referenced (1894-1953). The purpose of this piece was to show how Boiseans have portrayed themselves over time, using images our community projected toward the world.  

Boise's remarkable and diverse collection of Public Art is growing each year. Search the collection of paintings, sculptures, murals, installations, mosaics, traffic boxes and much more to fully appreciate the rich treasure that is the City's Public Art.
