After five days of work, an international artist's new mural at Boom Island Park has provided a stunning foreground image for the Minneapolis skyline.
Catch up quick: It's the first U.S. painting in the "Beyond Walls" series by Franco-Swiss artist Saype, who has created similar work in 21 other countries.
The Minneapolis mural is 310 feet long and 75 feet wide. It came at no cost to the Park Board.
What we're watching: The Park Board says people are welcome to walk on the painting, which will fade over the next few weeks.
