 I think I've never mentioned before but street art is something that I really like. Even though I'm (still) not collecting street art cards, I already have a few that I bought here and there. This is the 1st I got from Postcrossing.

Montreal is known as an artist's paradise. With murals and graffiti in every corner of the city, it's not difficult to see why Montreal is considered such a unique urban centre that stands out from other major cities in Canada. 

Buildings across the city are adorned with gigantic works of art, giving it a vibrant and colourful personality. But why are there so many artistic murals all over the place? Well, the city has actively promoted street art for nearly 60 years; since 1961, the Quebec government has required public building projects to devote 1% of their budget to initiatives in art. This policy has resulted in around 3,500 public art works being produced so far.

Montreal’s busiest street, Saint-Laurent Boulevard, is where you’ll find the majority of the city’s graffiti and murals. Affectionately known as “La Main”, Saint-Laurent is a long street (nearly 7 miles!) that runs north to south across the city, and its surrounding areas. - in: https://alwayscarryon.com

This mural on the card can by seen in this area, more exactly in Collège Street. It was painted in 2015 by Rafael Sottolichio.
