CHICAGO (CBS) --There's a beautiful new mural in Chicago's Chinatown neighborhood.
It's called "Chinese Opera" and it was created by local artist Rich Lo.
The mural graces the parking lot of the Chinese American Museum of Chicago, near 23rd and Cermak. It depicts three famous characters commonly seen in traditional Cantonese opera.
Lo was born in Canton, China and moved to Chicago at age seven. He has also authored and illustrated several children's books.
