Sunday in the Park

 These are early 1930s murals by Belle Baranceanu in the New Mexico building in Balboa Park. The building was built for the 1915 Panama-California Exposition; it was then remodeled by architect Richard Requa for the 1935 California-Pacific International Exposition.

This sculpture, from the same time period, is by William Schwiegert...apparently someone thought they needed to decorate it for Mardi Gras? (Kinda creepy!)

And the Queen was there!
