This mural at 1793 rue Wolfe in Montreal is a work of street art, painted in 2017 by Dominique Desbiens and Bruno Rouyère. It was organized by MU as part of the City of Montreal's mural art programme, second component, which commissions artworks on building walls across the city.
Murals of this kind are meant to be seen in passing, on the street itself, so a visit here is less about going inside a building and more about walking the surrounding streets at your own pace. The wall sits in an urban setting, and the experience is one of looking up at a large painted surface as part of everyday city life.

Around the mural
Because the mural is an outdoor piece, it works well as one stop among others in the area. Montreal's streets are known for a wide range of public art, and pairing this visit with a walk through the neighbourhood lets you compare it with other painted walls and the city's streetscape around it.
