This mural at 1420 rue Crescent, in the Ville-Marie borough of Montreal, is a work of street art by EL MAC (Miles MacGregor) and Gene Pendon. It was created in 2017 and produced by MU, the Montreal organization known for commissioning murals across the city.
What to expect
The mural is a public artwork painted on a building wall, so it can be seen at any hour from the street without a ticket or a reservation. It suits a short, unhurried walk rather than a planned trip of its own. Because it sits on rue Crescent, it is easy to combine with other stops in the area.
Around the mural
- Ville-Marie is the central borough of Montreal, with a dense mix of shops, restaurants, cafรฉs and offices.
- Rue Crescent is one of the city's well-known downtown streets, lined with bars, eateries and shopfronts.
- Montreal's wider street-art scene, which MU helps sustain, offers many more murals to look for on foot.

For a visitor, this is a simple stop: a chance to look at a large painted work by two artists in the middle of the city, then continue exploring the neighbourhood.
