Sir Thomas More’s entire novel ‘Utopia’ written in paint on a building in Norwich.


Sir Thomas More’s entire novel ‘Utopia’ written in paint on a building in Norwich. The old Eastern Electricity building on Westwick Street, just off Duke Street, inspired local artist Rory Macbeth to paint his favourite novel on its exterior walls for the EASTinternational 2006 contemporary art exhibition. He said his reason for painting Utopia onto the building is that the novel is “as valid now as it was when it was written”.
