This mural at 1806, rue Wolfe in Montreal is a work of street art created in 2017 by Mateo, whose full name is Mathieu Bories. It was organized by MU as part of the city's Programme d'art mural, the second strand of that programme. For visitors interested in public art, it is a straightforward stop: a wall painting in an urban setting, seen as part of everyday city life rather than behind the doors of a gallery.
What to expect
- A large-scale mural on a building facade on rue Wolfe
- Commissioned through the city's public art programme, which supports murals across Montreal
- Best experienced on foot, as a short detour within a walk through the neighbourhood
Planning your visit
The mural is outdoors, so it can be viewed at any time without a ticket or booking. Because it sits on a street rather than inside a venue, there is no fixed visiting schedule to check. If you want more detail about the work or the programme behind it, the City of Montreal publishes a dedicated page for the mural, listing its artist, organizer and year.
Mural stops like this one suit a relaxed visit. Pair it with a wander through the surrounding streets, where you can look at other murals, shops and cafรฉs, and take in the character of the area at your own pace.
