Scenes of Washington, by Washington, D.C. artist G. Byron Peck, is located at Metro Center station on the Red, Orange and Blue Lines in the District of Columbia. The painted mural depicts scenes of built and natural environments in the Nation's Capital. The mural, originally installed in 1989, was expanded in 2001 to fit the surrounding vaulted wall. The expansion allowed the artist to add more images of the Capital City.

This project was made possible in part by the D.C. Commission on the Arts and Humanities as part of MetroArt II, the second phase of the pre-cursor to the Art in Transit program.

G. Byron Peck lives in Washington, DC and has created over 80 murals and mosaics throughout the United States and abroad. He has created paintings for shows in New York and Washington, DC and taught classes at the Corcoran School of Art, the Smithsonian Museum, George Washington University and George Mason University. Mural commissions have included the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, and the American Embassy in Santiago, Chile.
