Q: What became of the Mary Blair murals that used to be in Tomorrowland at Disneyland? I cannot remember if they were tile or paint; were they simply painted over, or was some attempt made to preserve them in some way?

A: The two tile murals were covered over in 1986 and 1997. According to Imagineering’s Marty Sklar, “Mary Blair’s murals were not damaged or painted on, but the decision was made for cost reasons to leave them in place—hidden treasures at Disneyland!”
