Embark on a two-hour street art tour along Montreal's St.-Laurent boulevard. Discover the murals, learn about the history of the Main and try a local food tasting along the way with your local and professional guide.Over the last four years Saint-Laurent boulevard has been transformed into the country’s premier street art corridor. Since the creation of the first MURAL Festival, Montreal has become a world leader in public art.
Shortly after the founding of Montreal, the Main became an important dividing line between east and west. Thanks to the growing immigrant communities along the thoroughfare, the artery ironically created a gathering point for all citizens. Today, centuries later, these works of art are once again drawing locals and visitors, as well as both home-bred and international artists, to the epicenter of where it all began.
