2022-08-30 Update: These murals are no longer there. We are trying to follow up about what happened to them.
Surprisingly, none of the subjects of these murals is located in Stanley Park. Also, these are the only art works in Stanley Park that are painted pictures. We recommend that you check them out!
The plaque says:
PORTAL
Drawing upon Vancouver's architectural history Portal transports the viewer from one iconic Vancouver space into another - a domestic view of the Graham House (1963) by Arthur Erickson, the interior of the Bloedel Conservatory (1969) and the interior of the BC Binning House (1941).
