Westwood Murals

Originally located in the Dr. Joseph Westwood Home, in Massachusetts, these murals were removed in 1965. The museum purchased them, and currently displays them in the Wales and Hamblen building. They are considered the finest example of Porter's work. The murals were purchased from donations from Porter fans worldwide.
