This mural by Mr Crocks stands on the facade of a building at 362 rue Beaubien Est, in the Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie borough of Montreal, Canada. It was created in 2015 and was organized by SODER under the city's Programme graffitis et murales, a programme that brings street art onto public-facing walls across the city.
What to expect
This is a street-art stop rather than a formal attraction with set visiting hours, so it suits a relaxed walk. Rue Beaubien Est is a residential and commercial street, and the mural is best seen as part of a stroll through the neighbourhood, where you can look at the work from the pavement and take in the surrounding buildings and street life.

Around the mural
Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie is one of Montreal's established mixed neighbourhoods, and the rue Beaubien corridor is a good place to combine the mural with other sights, cafés and shops nearby. Because the work is on an ordinary street, it is easy to visit alongside errands or a longer walk through the borough.
