Murals that tell a story
A journey through Montreal's funded public art, from 2007 to today.
Montreal Murals is a living archive of the city's funded mural program — a curated collection that brings together hundreds of public artworks commissioned by the Ville de Montréal since 2007. Each mural is a window into the neighbourhood it inhabits, reflecting the character, history, and pulse of its community.
Art in public space
Public art transforms the everyday. It turns a commute into a gallery walk, a wall into a conversation starter. Montreal's mural program has funded works by both local and international artists, creating an open-air museum that belongs to everyone. From the vibrant murals of Plateau-Mont-Royal to the large-scale works in Saint-Michel, each piece adds a new layer to the city's cultural fabric.
A living archive
This project maps and catalogues every funded mural — making it easy to discover, explore, and appreciate Montreal's public art collection. Whether you're a longtime resident or a first-time visitor, Montreal Murals invites you to see the city through the eyes of its artists.
