This mural sits on a street corner in Le Sud-Ouest, one of Montreal's central districts, where the rue Georges-Vanier meets the rue Lionel-Groulx. It is a work of street art made in 2014 by the artists Dan Buller and Five Eight, and it was produced under the city's Programme graffitis et murales, organized by MU.
What to expect
The mural is an outdoor attraction, so a visit is simple: you walk up to the corner, look at the wall, and move on. It suits a short stop during a walk through the neighbourhood rather than a trip planned around it on its own. Because it is painted on a building face in a public street, you can see it at any time the street is open, and it is best viewed in daylight.
Making the most of the area
- Le Sud-Ouest: the district is worth exploring on foot, with its mix of residential streets and local life.
- Other murals: the Programme graffitis et murales has produced many works across the city, so the visit can pair well with a wider look at Montreal's street art.
- The city's mural records: the City of Montreal keeps an online entry for this work, which can help you find its exact location and related details before you go.
If you enjoy public art and want a quiet, unhurried stop in a working neighbourhood, this corner makes a straightforward addition to a day of walking around Montreal.
