BNP-Paribas Tower & The Illuminated Crowd
1981 McGill College Avenue, Montreal, QC H3A 2W7 Map
+1 514 873 2015 (Tourist Information)
Neighborhood: Downtown
Overview
This striking all glass office tower is perhaps best known for the sculpture at its base on McGill College Avenue: Raymond Mason's "The Illuminated Crowd" is a life-size group of men, women and children looking amazed at something the passersby can only imagine. It is one of downtown's most visited attractions, a real touch of whimsy amidst the shadows of downtown. The building itself dates from 1983, when the broad avenue was re-modeled in the spirit of Paris' Champs-Elysées.
