Downtown Portsmouth is home of the Virginia Sports Hall of Fame and Museum. These figures are all along the outer walls of the Museum.
Linking to Monday Murals.

I have never in my born days seen anything like this!!! Outstanding...love the concept, and how they jut out for a special effect and play with shadows.
Very interesting! When I saw your first photo, I was thinking it was the Sports Museum in Portsmouth, which we've been to; didn't realize there was one in Norfolk, too!
that is too cool that we both did a post about sports today!! i've not heard about this museum i will have to ask the hubby if he knew about it. we have been to the mariner's museum in newport news. that has even changed on the website ... guess that was when we 1st started dating so i'm sure it has really changed. have a great week. stay cool. (:
Those are so cool! I think every brick building could do with one of those figures... :)
Good Morning Linda!
wow...so very creative!
How'd they do it? Is it raised bricks? I don't think I've ever seen anything like it, how neat! =)
Amazing, I have never seen anything like these, great new art form. Fun, Fun, Fun!
How very fabulous is this, built in murals, they'll definitely be there forever Linda. Well spotted, they're not that easy to see.
These are brilliant!
Very cool. And a nice variety of sports seem to be represented.
Very cool. I wonder if they were done when the building was constructed or were somehow added on? Either way I love them.
that is pretty neat.
My MONDAY MURAL is here
Awesome figures . I really like these murals.
To echo the comments of other visitors, WOW!! So clever and subtle. I hope this starts a trend. I'm sure they could add more sports if they wanted. I'd like to see swimming just to see how they handle the water line. Thanks, Linda, for contributing to Monday Mural.
Yup, yup... me too! So cool!
[Linda, you're welcome to ramble on my blog any time! And that is whether I would agree or not. In this case I sure do. Thanks!]
So incredibly creative for them to add these three dimensional touches to an otherwise boring red brick wall!

They are very interesting! You know, we lived in Olde Town Portsmouth for three years and I never went to the museum....we just aren't sports buffs. Have they opened up the new Train Museum yet?
Wow! Quite amazing. Now these were quite skilful bricklayers!
