Tour
Parc Mont-Royal
  • 27 Artworks
  • 1h30min
  • Lac-aux-Castors Pavilion
  • Chalet du Mont-Royal

This tour will allow you to encounter artwork located atop the Mountain. Depending on which route you take, you can discover about 20 pieces of public art that present the history of the Mountain, a major component of the daily landscape for Montrealers.

The tour starts at the Lac-aux-Castors Pavilion, symbol of modern architecture in Montréal. A mural by artist Claude Vermette adorns its facade. Go inside the building to discover a sports artifact: The skates that hockey player Jean Béliveau wore when he scored his 500th goal in 1971 have been bronzed! In the park’s centre, the clearing offers a view of the works of the First International Sculpture Symposium in North America, held in 1964. During this event, eleven sculptors from nine countries were invited to create a sculptural monument. Additional information about art in the park is available at Maison Smith. This imposing country house is worth a visit! Constructed in 1858, it was the destination of the first road laid out on the Mountain and is Montréal’s last surviving example of rural architecture of its time. Your tour ends at the Chalet du Mont-Royal, which contains historical paintings by Canadian artists done in 1931. For the most impressive view of the city, make your way to the Belvédère Kondiaronk!

For information about outdoor activities on the Mountain, consult the Amis de la Montagne website.
