City studying ways to save mural

The City of Madison is exploring if, and how, it can preserve a 75-foot-mural at the Madison Central Library by noted artist Aaron Bohrod when the library is demolished and replaced with a new $37 million facility.The mural, which features a series of fantasy-like animals in soft earth tones, is valued for its place in the library and for being a creation of Bohrod, a UW-Madison artist in residence and nationally-known figure who was prolific as a painter, sculptor, print maker, ceramicist and illustrator.
