Description de l’œuvre

Né à Lyon (France), Hector Guimard fut l’un des plus importants représentants de l’Art Nouveau, courant inspiré de la nature. En 1899, les responsables du métro parisien lui ont confié le mandat de réaliser les entrées du tout nouveau réseau de transport souterrain. Cet élément architectural datant des débuts du métro de Paris a été installé au square Victoria en 1967. Il a été complété et restauré en 2003, lors du réaménagement du square et de son intégration au Quartier international de Montréal. Il s’agit d’un don de la Régie autonome des transports parisiens (RATP) à la STM (Société des Transports de Montréal)
