Mural by Phillip Adams (2016) is a street-art work on the wall of a building at 81 boulevard De Maisonneuve Est, in Montreal, Canada. It was created in 2016 by the artist Phillip Adams and produced by MU as part of the city's Programme d'art mural (volet 2), the mural art programme run by the City of Montreal.
What to expect
This is an outdoor attraction, so a visit means walking up to the wall and seeing the work in daylight and in the setting around it. Because it is a public artwork on a street-facing building, there is no entry to pay for or time to book, and it can be viewed at any hour when the street is open to you.
- Location: boulevard De Maisonneuve Est, in central Montreal
- Type: outdoor street art, a mural
- Created: 2016, under the city's mural art programme
Making the most of the trip
Because the mural is a single outdoor piece, it works well as one stop within a longer walk. Boulevard De Maisonneuve is one of the main east-west streets of the city, so you can combine a look at the mural with other sights, cafés and shops along the same route. Montreal has a long tradition of street art, and seeing a city-commissioned mural like this one gives a sense of how public art is part of everyday life in the neighbourhood.
For more detail on the work and its commission, the City of Montreal publishes a page on this mural in its murals collection, which is a useful place to check before you go.
