New York's museums and galleries have now been closed for more than three months in an effort to help stop the spread of the coronavirus.


But that hasn't kept local artists from continuing to uplift and inspire.


Many have even taken their work to the streets.


Now that the city has started to reopen, it's a good time to check out the best pandemic-inspired murals that have popped up in Harlem and Washington Heights.


Notably, most are close to the hospitals and ambulance routes that were on the front line of the pandemic.


So put on your mask and check them out, heading south to north:
