This mural by Rafael Sottolichio stands on the side of a building at 450, rue Cherrier, at the corner of Berri, in the Le Plateau-Mont-Royal borough of Montreal, Canada. It was created in 2011 and forms part of the city's street-art collection, produced under the Programme graffitis et murales run by MU, an organisation that works with artists on public walls.
What to expect
This is an outdoor visit. The mural is part of the streetscape, so you can see it at any hour, and it works well as a stop on a walk through the area rather than a destination in its own right. Approach it on foot to take in its scale and its relationship to the building and the corner it occupies.
The area around it
- Le Plateau-Mont-Royal, a residential and commercial borough known for its street life and its many small shops, cafés and restaurants.
- Rue Cherrier and the Berri corner, a useful spot for combining the mural with a stroll through the neighbourhood.
- Other murals and street art from the city's public programme, which make the borough a good place to look up at walls as you walk.
If you want more detail about the work or its commission, the City of Montreal publishes an information page on the mural, linked from the city's murals listing.
