Silo Art (Back VIew) See the next photo in my stream for the front - This mural art is fascinating. Done by Guido van Helten, it is located on the banks of the Minnesota River in Mancato, Minnesota. Mancato is a small city located in southern Minnesota. To reach it, you drive through very rural areas with corn fields and then round a bend on the road, and here it is, multiple 135 foot grain silos painted with diverse figures including Native Americans and Muslims. The mill is still an active one.
