Gintong Kasaysayan, Gintong Pamana mural in Historic Filipinotown

Restoring and Protecting the Gintong Kasaysayan Mural in Historic Filipinotown

Twenty-five years after its creation, artist Eliseo Art Silva returned to restore his bold and historic mural,“Gintong Kasaysayan, Gintong Pamana”, using MuralShield and World’s Best Graffiti Coating.

Protecting this mural is especially important because it is located next to a public park, making it highly vulnerable to graffiti tagging, weather exposure, and ongoing surface wear.

Courtesy of "The Promise Zone Arts initiative celebrates the Cultural Treasures of the Los Angeles Promise Zone.

Regarded by the Los Angeles Times as one of the “20 iconic murals of Los Angeles,” the mural is beloved by the Filipino American community and is recognized as the largest mural in the United States depicting Filipino American history.

We are proud to be part of this monumental restoration and the preservation of the cultural history it holds.
