Trompe l'oeil murals have long been employed as decoration and didactic illustration. Muralist Richard Haas has almost single-handedly revived this tradition and brought it to the 21st century by painting "false" facades onto forgotten buildings in eroding city centers and faux panoramas onto walls and ceilings within private homes and corporate lobbies. His illusionistic works may be seen throughout the United States and Europe, in cities such as New York, Chicago, Boston, and Munich.
