Les Hommes de Lettres is a mural on the wall facing the back lane at 3250 rue Masson, in the Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie borough of Montreal, Canada. It was created in 2017 as part of the city's Programme d'art mural (volet 2), the mural art programme that brings large-scale painted works to walls across the city.
What to expect
This is a street-art stop rather than a sit-down attraction. Because the work faces the ruelle, or back lane, you will see it best by walking along the lane itself, where the wall is open to view and the surrounding setting shapes how the painting reads. Plan a short visit, and take time to look at the details up close as well as from a few steps back.
