About
The Leonard Cohen Mural rises above downtown Montreal, a large piece of street art that pays tribute to the city's celebrated poet and singer-songwriter. Cohen's work is closely tied to Montreal, so the mural makes a fitting landmark for anyone who knows his songs or his writing, and for anyone curious about how the city honours its cultural figures.
What to expect
The mural is an outdoor work, so a visit is simply a walk to see it in the streets of downtown. Because of its scale and position, it is easy to spot and makes a good stop for photographs. Plan your visit around the area itself rather than a fixed schedule, and allow time to look at it from a few angles.
Why visit
- It suits music and literature lovers who want to see a local tribute to Cohen.
- It works well as a short stop during a walk through downtown Montreal.
- It offers a reminder of how the city remembers its artists in public space.
