Nikos Bel-Jon's seven-panel mural of the History of Iron was commissioned by the American Society of Metals (now ASM) in 1953. The panels were moved from ASM's headquarters in downtown Cleveland to their headquarters at Materials Park under the geodesic dome. There they...well, they were wrapped up in paper and stacked on shelves for five or so decades. During the early 2000's renovation, the panels were restored and now hang throughout the ASM headquarters.
The panels are gorgeous, having been 'drawn' with steel wool and metal brushes. When photographed under the right lighting, the panels show a beautiful depth of imagery, a 3d look with no physical depth. More photos can be found on Bel-Jon Studio's website.
