This mural at 925 rue Hickson in Montreal is a work of street art created by Antoine Tavaglione in 2018, produced together with MU. It stands in the Verdun borough, on the southwest side of the city, and was made under the city's Programme d'art mural, the second component of that programme.
For a visitor, the appeal is simple: it is an outdoor artwork you can walk up to and see at street level. Because it is a mural rather than an indoor exhibit, there is no admission to plan around, and a stop can easily fit into a walk through the neighbourhood or a longer route across the city.

Exploring the area
Verdun is a residential borough along the St. Lawrence River, with a mix of shops, cafรฉs and green spaces, and it is easy to combine a mural visit with time by the water or a stroll along its commercial streets. If you are interested in more of Montreal's public art, the city's mural catalogue, linked from its official mural pages, lists other works produced under the same programme, which can help you plan a wider tour.
