Are mosaics anything like murals?

[livius]

Mosaics are little glass or stone pieces embedded in mortar to create a visual work that is generally on a floor or on a wall.

A mural is anything on a wall, which can be a painting, a fresco, a mosaic, or anything else that decorates an expanse of wall.

They can be if they’re on a wall. Unlike murals they can be found on the floor/pavement as well. I have to wonder if the press calls the muslims who cover them up ‘vandals’.
