This mural on boulevard de Maisonneuve Est, in Montreal's Ville-Marie borough, is the work of two artists, Phillip Adams and David Guinn, who created it in 2010. It is one of the pieces produced under the city's Programme graffitis et murales, which is run by MU, the organisation that commissions and documents murals across Montreal.
It sits on a busy downtown boulevard, so it suits a visitor who is already walking the area and wants to see some of the city's street art without making a special trip. Because the wall is part of the street, you can look at it from the pavement at your own pace, with no ticket and no set hours to plan around.

Around the mural
The boulevard runs through the heart of the downtown area, where you will find cafés, shops and transit links, so it is easy to combine a look at the mural with time spent elsewhere in the neighbourhood. If you are interested in Montreal's street art more broadly, this stop is a simple way to see how the city's murals are woven into everyday streets rather than kept in one place.
