This mural at 4802 rue Saint-Denis, in the Le Plateau-Mont-Royal borough of Montreal, is a work of street art that visitors can see while walking the neighbourhood. It was created in 2023, with the design conceived by Michel Rabagliati and painted by the muralists Dominique Desbiens and Bruno Rouyère.
About the work
The mural was produced by MU as part of its Programme d'art mural, the city's public mural programme, under its second component. Its appeal is largely that of a public artwork in an everyday street setting: it is meant to be seen in passing, on the way to somewhere else, rather than inside a gallery.
Visiting
- Location: 4802 rue Saint-Denis, Le Plateau-Mont-Royal, Montreal
- Type of visit: an outdoor street-art stop, suited to a short walk
- Also known as: "Murale située au 4802 rue Saint-Denis"
Rue Saint-Denis is one of the main commercial streets of the Plateau, lined with shops, cafés and restaurants, so the mural fits naturally into a wider stroll through the area. Anyone interested in Montreal's public art can combine it with a visit to other murals in the city.
