This mural by the artist Astro sits at 5250 rue de Charleroi, in the Montréal-Nord borough of Montreal, Canada. It was created in 2019 as part of the city's Programme d'art mural (volet 2), carried out by AGC Art Public (Artgang). It is a street-art work, so a visit is simply a matter of finding the wall and looking at it in its neighbourhood setting.
What to expect
- A large-scale mural in an outdoor urban setting, viewed from the street.
- Created in 2019 under a municipal public art programme.
- Easy to combine with a walk through the surrounding residential streets of Montréal-Nord.
Getting there
The address is 5250 rue de Charleroi, Montreal. The mural is an outdoor work, so it can be seen at any time, and it suits a short, low-key stop rather than a long visit. For details about the work and its record, the City of Montreal's public murals page lists it under the reference detail/218 on the city's website.
Because the mural is part of a wider city programme, it can also serve as a starting point for exploring other public art around the borough. Visitors interested in street art may find the trip worthwhile for the artwork alone, and those who prefer to see more of the city can plan it alongside other stops in Montreal.
