About
This mural by Mathieu Potvin sits on the façade at 1681 rue Saint-Denis, in the Ville-Marie borough of Montreal. It was created in 2025 and organized by MU, an arts organization, with funding from the city's Service de la culture. It is listed in the city's public mural collection under the French title "Murale située au 1681, rue Saint-Denis".
What to expect
This is a street-art work, so the visit is simple: you come to look at it where it stands, on the street, at any hour that suits you. There is no entry to pay and no building to go inside. Rue Saint-Denis is a busy commercial and cultural street, so it is easy to combine the mural with a walk along the avenue.
Around the mural
- Rue Saint-Denis runs through the heart of Ville-Marie, a district of cafés, shops and restaurants.
- Montreal's wider public art scene includes many murals commissioned through the city, so this work can be part of a longer walk.
- The city's own mural record for this piece gives its details for anyone who wants to read more before going.
If you are planning a visit, check the city's mural listing for the most current information about the work, and allow a few minutes to see it from both near and across the street.
