Louisiana: Street Art & Statues

Louisiana is rich with street art, colorful murals, and striking statues - and our asset and map teams have been drawing plenty of inspiration from them for this upcoming DLC for American Truck Simulator. In today's blog, we'd like to give you a closer look at some of these creative works!

Street Art

Louisiana's vibrant murals and street art bring even more color and life to the Pelican State. As you cruise through in your truck, keep an eye out - you might spot the "Experience Ruston" mural on one of the city's buildings, complete with peaches in the background.

In Mansfield, you'll come across two murals, both featuring the American flag but with very different themes - one capturing the spirit of a baseball game, and the other showcasing an airplane. Over in Shreveport, two more murals await: one is a lively, colorful piece filled with diverse imagery (featured at the top of the blog), while the other spans the entire wall of a tall building in the background.

And that's not all - you'll discover murals scattered across other cities too, from Lafayette and Baton Rouge to Houma. So next time you're hauling cargo through Louisiana, be sure to look around and take in the art that makes this state even more unique!

Statues

Now, let's see some of the statues we have recreated for this DLC! As you explore the streets of Baton Rouge, you'll come across the statue of Christopher Columbus in Columbus Plaza - a tribute to the famed navigator whose transatlantic voyages opened the path to European exploration of the Americas.

If you head west from there along I-10, the Atchafalaya Welcome Center houses a modest monument honoring the Louisiana Airborne Memorial Bridge and commemorating the service of veterans. Further south, in Houma, a touching statue of a mother and her children stands near the city court, adding a more intimate expression of remembrance.
