The Miri Balloon Mural is a colorful and eye-catching urban wall art located near the entrance to Time Square along Bendahara Road in the historic Miri old town district.
Painted with nothing more than spray paints and pure artistic skill, the Miri Balloon mural is an urban wall mural art painted on a blank wall of a corner shophouse in front of the High Street roundabout near the entrance to Time Square along Bendahara Road in the Miri 'old town' district, visible from the historic Miri Central Market.
Painted in a large party-style balloon letters arranged to spell out "Miri", the murals also had physical ropes attached to the bottoms of them for people to hold on to and take photographs. Its location makes it easily visible from the roundabout, attracting the attention of passersby and art enthusiasts alike.
The mural was sponsored by local businesses and painted in July 2019 and serves as a symbol of the city's artistic culture and creative spirit.
