The word was first used in the 20th Century and just like other artworks, a mural can be formed from various techniques such as encaustic painting, tempera painting, fresco painting, ceramics, liquid silicate, fired porcelain enamel, and lastly, oil paint on canvas.

| The biggest mural titled “Kasaysayan ng Bulacan” was created in 1976 and is made from oil in plywood by a famous muralist named Amadeo Manalad. The biggest mural was displayed on August 30, 1976, to commemorate Marcelo H. del Pilar’s 126th birth anniversary. It is considered the biggest mural in the old times due to its dimensions that is 23 ft by 74 ft. You will see this beautiful and enormous mural from the staircase railings of The Gat. Blas F. Ople Hall, MacAthur Highway, Malolos, Bulacan. The mural depicted the brave heroes in our country and the home of the “Pambansang Alagad ng Sining” or National Artists who contributed to Music, Dance, Theatre, Architecture, and other kinds of arts. In addition, the famous traditions like fiestas showed how colorful Bulacan can be seen in the masterpiece. Around 1991, the Bulacan Capitol was renovated and the mural was transferred to the Hiyas ng Bulacan Cultural Center and restored again to the Bulacan Capitol in 2018.
