The visit
The mural is an outdoor work, so a visit is a matter of walking up to the corner and looking, at any hour the street is open to you. It makes a short stop rather than a full outing, and it suits anyone interested in public art or the city's murals programme. The City of Montreal maintains an online record of its murals, which is worth consulting if you want more detail on the work and its context.
Because the mural sits on a busy downtown intersection, it works well as part of a wider walk. Ville-Marie is the core of the city, and the surrounding streets offer shops, cafés and other sights to combine with a stop here.
