No, fresco is a more specific subset of muralism. Murals are large pieces of art. Frescos are large pieces of art created by painting on wet plaster.

Frescoes and murals are not the same, although they are related. Fresco is a painting technique where pigment is applied onto a wet plaster surface, while murals are any large painting applied directly to a wall or ceiling. Frescoes can be a type of mural, but not all murals are frescoes.
