Construction work outside The Neuro, April 2026

The Neuro (Montreal Neurological Institute and Hospital) is located at the top of University Street in downtown Montreal, across the street from the old Royal Victoria Hospital. The "Royal Vic" is now a part of the "super hospital" on the Glen in West-end Montreal, and the site of the old Royal Vic building is being repurposed and is under construction. (As seen here on 30 April 2026.)

Mural by Mary Harris Filer, at the Montreal Neurological Institute, 1

I know of two murals at McGill University, one is by Marian Dale Scott, a prominent artist and wife of poet and law professor Frank Scott, and the other is in a conference room on the first floor of the Montreal Neurological Institute-Hospital (The "Neuro") on University Street, part of the McGill University Health Care hospitals. "The Advance of Neurology" is by Mary Harris Filer and was unveiled by Quebec premier, Maurice Duplessis, on 14 November 1954.
