Axe Lalime is a mural at 5944, rue des Écores in Montreal, on the lane side of the building (côté ruelle). It sits in the Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie borough, a residential part of the city's east end, and was created in 2017 under the city's Programme d'art mural, second component.
What kind of visit this is
This is a street-art stop rather than a formal museum visit. The mural is painted on a building wall, so you see it outdoors, at street level, in the rhythm of a neighbourhood going about its day. It suits a short walk, a detour while exploring the borough, or a look at how Montreal has invited artists to work on its public walls.
Finding it
- The address is 5944, rue des Écores, and the mural faces the back lane rather than the main street.
- Walk the lane side of the building to see the work in full.
- The city's public mural listing for this piece is available online at ville.montreal.qc.ca, under the murals section, if you want to read more about it before you go.
Around the mural
Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie is best explored on foot. Its streets mix shops, cafés and local businesses with quiet residential blocks, so a visit to the mural can easily be paired with a stroll through the surrounding area. Because the work is outside and free to see, it is a flexible addition to a day in the city, whatever else you have planned.
