11 Forgotten Industrial Ruins That Are Now Unique Art Installations

6. Silo Art Trail, Australia: Prairie Giants Reimagined

Stretching across rural Victoria, this project transforms towering grain silos – icons of agricultural industry – into monumental canvases for stunning murals by renowned street artists. Each silo tells a story, often depicting local figures, history, or wildlife, turning functional structures into landmarks that revitalize small towns. The ingenuity is twofold: using the silos' challenging cylindrical form to create perspective-bending art, and using art as an economic and cultural driver, drawing visitors deep into Australia's wheat belt. It’s landscape-scale portraiture celebrating community on industrial architecture.
