Finding Art and History Among the Malls of Montreal's Underground City
Finding art and history among the malls of Montreal's underground city MORGAN LOWRIE, THE CANADIAN PRESS 12.12.2016 | The atrium of the International Trade Center, which is one of many locations connected to the underground city network, is seen Friday, December 9, 2016 in Montreal.THE CANADIAN PRESS/Ryan Remiorz MONTREAL A visit to the "underground city" is a top item in any Montreal tourism guide, although asking a resident for directions just might get you the tiniest roll of the eye. That's because to many Montrealers, the tunnels that connect the city's downtown subway stations with a series of malls, oøce buildings and universities are more a convenient way of getting around than a noteworthy destination in itself. But in this case, the tourists may just have it right, according to the author of a book about the pedestrian network. Ivan Drouin says Montrealers' nonchalance may be simply due to the fact it's such a part of their lives they may not understand what an achievement it is. "I've met Montrealers who worked downtown for 20 years and are surprised to learn about the underground city's diversity, its artwork, its stories and its history," said Drouin, who founded Kaleidoscope, a Montreal tour company that oúers guided visits of the network. The term "underground" is a misnomer, as many of the levels are actually above ground. Drouin describes it instead as a "protected pedestrian network" — a 32kilometre series of tunnels and passageways that allow residents to have access to most major downtown destinations without stepping foot outdoors. -
