This is a mural at 5000 rue Ontario Est, in the Mercier–Hochelaga-Maisonneuve borough of Montreal, Canada. It was created by the artist A'Shop in 2014 and is one of the works produced under the city's Programme graffitis et murales, carried out in collaboration with Y'a QuelQu'un l'aut'bord du mur (YQQ).
What to expect
This is a street-art piece, so the visit is simple: you walk up to the wall on rue Ontario Est and look at it where it stands. It suits a short detour on foot rather than a trip made for its own sake. Allow a few minutes to look, photograph it and take in the surrounding street.
About the setting
The mural sits in Mercier–Hochelaga-Maisonneuve, a largely residential east-end district of the city. Because the work is on a public street, it can be seen at any time and needs no ticket. Its location also makes it a reasonable addition to a day spent exploring the east of Montreal.

For details about the work, the City of Montreal publishes a record for it online, which can be found through the city's mural listings. Because the piece is outdoors, your visit will depend only on reaching the street itself.
