This mural at 1110 boulevard Saint-Laurent, in Montreal, is a work of street art made in 2015 by Gene Pendon and Bryan Beyung. It was organized by MU as part of the city's graffiti and mural programme, which has brought large painted works to walls across the city.
What to expect
- Type of visit: a short, free stroll past a painted wall on one of Montreal's best-known streets, rather than a sit-down attraction.
- Location: on boulevard Saint-Laurent, the long north-south street that divides the city's east and west sides and runs through many of its neighbourhoods.
- Background: the work was commissioned through MU's programme, so it sits within a wider public effort to bring art to urban walls.
Around the mural
Boulevard Saint-Laurent is lined with cafés, shops, restaurants and galleries, so the mural is easy to combine with an afternoon of wandering. Visitors who enjoy street art may want to look for other murals nearby, as the city has many across its districts.
For details on the artwork and the programme behind it, the City of Montreal's mural page for this work offers the official record. The mural is best seen on foot, at a pace that lets you take in the wall as a whole.
