“…America has a rich mural heritage, and this is especially true of Mexico, Canada, and the United States. These murals show many features of their history, culture, politics, and even their education or advertising [ 36 ]. In Mexico, the murals in Teotihuacan , which is considered a major cultural and political center of ancient Mesoamerica, were painted embedded since the early stages (1–200 CE) and until the collapse of the great city (650 CE) [ 37 , 38 ], and these beautiful and complex murals are considered the important source of understanding Teotihuacan culture and society [ 39 ].…”

As non-renewable cultural heritages, murals have important implications in historical customs, religions, and philosophy as well as their aesthetic values. Recently, many murals are threatened by natural factors and human activities. During the past decades, there are increasing interest in the investigation of murals. Here we review the current status of murals and provide an up-to-date summary of achievements related to murals. The murals that draw the most attention are distributed in Mexico, Ireland, China, and Spain. The aesthetics, history, cultural, educational, and economic values of murals are comprehensively analyzed. The main research technologies used to detect the chemical compositions and physical structures of murals are also summarized. The restoration of murals includes several procedures such as stabilization, repair, surface cleaning, and pigment reconversion. Emerging technologies such as computer science benefit the research and conservation of murals. We also propose that tourism management and climate change should be incorporated into the conservation of murals in the future.
