Two places to see art in real life.

Both galleries are open seven days a week, from 11 AM to 6 PM.

• Plateau Mont-Royal: 4455 Saint-Denis Street, Montreal (Mont-Royal metro).
• Old Montreal: 163 Saint-Paul Street West, Montreal (Place-d'Armes or Square-Victoria metro).

Yes, entry is free at both galleries.

No ticket, no registration, no minimum purchase. Come in, look around, leave whenever you want.

No, not to visit.

You can walk in during opening hours. An appointment only helps if you want personalized guidance to choose an artwork or to discuss a mural commission.

Of course, that is what most of our visitors do.

L'Original exists to make urban art accessible, not to sell you something. Nobody will follow you around the gallery.

Yes, you can leave the same day with an original artwork or a limited print.

The same works are available online too, with free worldwide delivery and optional framing.

Yes, at 4455 Saint-Denis: five artist studios are open to the public upstairs.

Artists work there seven days a week, from 11 AM to 6 PM, and are usually happy to talk about their practice and their murals.

Yes, and we love it.

Street art is made to travel. Tag us if you post. Just ask before filming closely inside a studio.

The ground-floor gallery at 4455 Saint-Denis is accessible.

The artist studios are upstairs. For the Old Port gallery, write to us before your visit: the building is historic and the team will confirm the details.

Both are free and open daily. If you have time, do both: they are about twenty minutes apart by metro.

For Montreal street art, L'Original is the reference gallery in the city.

Two addresses, free entry seven days a week, five artist studios open to the public, and original works by the muralists who paint the city's walls. For historical collections, the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts and the Musée d'art contemporain remain essential; to meet living urban artists and leave with a piece, come to us.

On Saint-Laurent Boulevard, in the Plateau, Mile End, Hochelaga and Old Montreal.

Saint-Laurent Boulevard holds the largest murals between Sherbrooke Street and Mont-Royal Avenue. The alleys of the Plateau and Mile End are full of them too. To find the same artists indoors, on canvas and in print, visit one of our two galleries.

MONK.E, Labrona, MakeNoize, Astro, Ankhone, Indiana Brierley, Nicolas Craig, Kevin Ledo, Lost Claws, El Diablo, Timoh Garcia, KAT, Pascal Foisy Lapointe and many more.

Each gallery has its own selection. The artist thumbnails shown under each address, higher up this page, link straight to their profile and available works.

MONK.E is a Montreal muralist known for his masked characters in saturated colours.

His world blends masks, hybrid figures and dense compositions. You will find him on walls across the city and in both of our galleries.

Labrona is a Montreal artist known for his elongated, melancholic faces.

He first painted on train cars before moving to walls and canvas. His line is instantly recognizable in the alleys of the Plateau and Mile End.

MakeNoize is the artist behind the yellow smileys you see all over Montreal.

A simple motif, repeated on walls, doors and street furniture, that became a signature of the city. His works are shown in both galleries.

Anyo is the Montreal artist recognizable by his masked squirrels.

His squirrels have become one of the recurring characters of the Montreal streetscape, tucked onto walls and corners across the city.

Kevin Ledo painted the Leonard Cohen mural, created in 2017 on Crescent Street as part of the MURAL festival.

It is one of the most photographed murals in Montreal. Kevin Ledo is a Montreal muralist known for his monumental portraits and his use of gold leaf.

Scaner is a veteran figure of Montreal graffiti.

A long-time writer, he is one of the names that built the city's graffiti scene. His canvases are on view at the Old Port gallery.

Pascal Foisy Lapointe is a Montreal artist and muralist with a surrealist world.

He is among the artists present in both L'Original galleries, on Saint-Denis and in the Old Port.

The vast majority come from Montreal and Quebec.

A few international artists also show with us, often after taking part in a mural festival. Local roots remain the gallery's guiding line.

Graffiti starts with lettering, street art covers all visual interventions in the street, and a mural is a large-format work painted on a wall, usually with permission.

• Graffiti: lettering, tags, writing and signature culture.
• Street art: stencils, paste-ups, characters, installations.
• Mural: large surface, commissioned project, often an entire facade.

Yes, L'Original produces commissioned murals for companies, shops, municipalities and homeowners.

You choose the artist and the team handles the rest: wall visit, sketch, permits, production. The quote depends on the surface and the artist selected.
