Planning a visit
- Location: 1215 rue Saint-Mathieu, Montreal, Quebec.
- Type of visit: an outdoor, walk-up look at a street-art piece, best combined with other stops in the area.
- Nearby: the Peter-McGill neighbourhood, a district of downtown Montreal with shops, cafés and transit links, makes a natural base for a short walk.
Because the mural is on a street-level building, a visit requires little more than time to walk the block and look at the work from the pavement. It suits anyone already exploring downtown Montreal who wants to add a piece of public art to the itinerary.
