Part of Montreal's metro network, Jean-Talon Station was initially designed by the architecture firm Duplessis, Labelle et Derome with side platforms in a tunnel. The station expanded in 1986 with the Blue Line addition by Gilbert Sauvé, featuring artistic tiling and a large mural by Judith Bricault. The station has four entrances and became fully accessible with elevators installed by 2019.
Judith Bricault’s 18-meter enamelled steel mural, visible from all levels, reflects the station's dynamic metro line intersections. In total, 256 panels form this gigantic work which reaches 18 meters in height.
