This mural by Artducommun sits at 183 rue des Érables in Lachine, a borough in the south-west of Montreal, Canada. It was created in 2011 and forms part of the city's street-art presence in the neighbourhood, so it suits a visitor who enjoys looking at public art while exploring the city on foot.
What to expect
The work is a wall mural on a residential street, seen in the setting of everyday life rather than inside a gallery. Because it is painted directly on a building, you experience it as part of the streetscape, and you can take in the piece at your own pace without any admission or formal visit.

Around the mural
Lachine is known along the St. Lawrence River shoreline, so a visit here can be combined with a walk or cycle toward the water and with other parts of the borough. For more background on the mural, the City of Montreal publishes a detail page for it at ville.montreal.qc.ca, under its public murals listing.
