Transportation Murals
The Transportation Murals were painted by Carlo Ciampaglia for the Centennial Building. The murals were overpainted in 1942. In 2000, the murals were restored.

These murals were destroyed in the 1942 fire, during which the Automobile Builiding burned down. Six of the eight murals were restored in 2000. The recreations were based on glass plates of the originals from Bourdelle's archives.
