Denver International Airport conspiracy murals by Leo Tanguma

Two large murals by artist Leo Tanguma at Denver International Airport-titled 'Children of the World Dream of Peace' and 'In Peace and Harmony with Nature'-contain vivid, sometimes disturbing imagery that has been cited by conspiracy theorists. The murals’ depictions of suffering, death, and later scenes of reconciliation and environmental renewal have been interpreted online and locally as evidence of hidden, apocalyptic, or New World Order symbolism. The airport’s unusual public art, a time capsule, and the layout of runways have together fueled persistent myths, while the airport and art historians state the works are intended as anti-war and environmental statements rather than literal conspiracies.
