Oasis mural made from bucket hats offered permanent home

The colossal artwork, which was created by Nathan Wyburn and commissioned by St David's Cardiff, is made from a staggering 3,000 black and white hats.

It is 16 feet tall, almost the height of a double-decker bus, and more than 20 feet wide.

The mural was commissioned to celebrate the start of Oasis' reunion tour this weekend.

The mural, aptly named the Wonder Wall, has been a huge hit since it was installed at St David's last month, with people travelling from far and wide to get a glimpse.

St David's has invited museums, galleries, memorabilia organisations, or even individual superfans with space to spare, to get in touch via their website.

Helen Morgan, centre director of St David’s Cardiff, said: "The Wonder Wall portrait has been a huge success and we’ve been overwhelmed, not just by the reaction on social media, but by the thousands of fans who have come here to admire it and take photos.

"We have had reporters and film crews from across the UK and even Japan wanting to film it, so given its huge appeal, rather than dismantle it – as was the plan – we wanted to offer it free to an organisation, ideally locally, to roll with it in the future."

The mural's installation coincided with the heightened anticipation surrounding the Oasis tour, and it has since attracted thousands of visitors.

St David’s Cardiff hopes their offer will ensure the artwork can 'live forever' as a tribute to the band.
