Steinhart Aquarium

For over thirty years, Granizo spent a great deal of time at the Steinhart Aquarium.  Fish was a fascination of his and you will see fish many of his murals.  He became close friends with Dr. Earl S. Herald who was the curator there for many years.  Granizo designed and donated many mosaics and murals to the aquarium over the years.  When the aquarium was remodeled, many of the mosaics could not be salvaged but some of his works still remain.
