Around the mural
Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie is a residential area of Montreal, and murals like this one are part of how the city has brought public art into its everyday streets. Because the work is set on a boulevard rather than in a museum, it is best seen as part of a wider walk: you can combine it with other local streets, shops and cafés, and see how the artwork sits within its surroundings.
