This mural by Olivier Bonnard stands at 2022 rue Beaubien Est, in the Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie borough of Montreal, Canada. It was created in 2017 as part of the city's Programme d'art mural (volet 2), a municipal initiative that brings murals to walls across the city.
What to expect
This is an outdoor street-art piece, so the visit is simple and free of any booking: you come to look at the wall itself, in the street where it is painted. It suits a short walk rather than a day out on its own, and it is a good stop for anyone interested in how public art appears in everyday neighbourhoods rather than only in museums.
