Some of Atlanta’s best art isn’t in a building — it’s on one.

There are more than 700 murals in metro Atlanta, according to Atlanta Street Art Map, a website that acts as an online tour guide for those who want to get out and explore the city's art.

With all the colorful, poignant, whimsical paintings, it might be tough to pick a favorite. But that’s what we’re going to ask of you this week.

We want to know: What is the best mural in metro Atlanta? The seven we chose either impressed us, made us smile or both. They pay homage to Atlanta’s civil rights legacy, hip-hop royalty, a goddess, a baby Jedi and more.
