Founded in 1642, Montreal is a vibrant metropolis built on an island in the St. Lawrence River, celebrated for its festivals, culinary scene and unique blend of old-world architecture and modern innovation. As you piece together this 150 piece jigsaw puzzle, you'll spot the stunning Notre-Dame Basilica in Old Montreal whose twin towers dominate Place d'Armes, and you'll also uncover the majestic Saint Joseph's Oratory with its distinctive green copper dome. The puzzle captures the revolutionary modular housing complex, Habitat 67, with its stacked cube-like structures, and the iconic Biosphère, a geodesic dome, both designed for Expo 67. You'll find the beautiful Mother Earth sculpture in the gardens of Parc Jean-Drapeau, a stunning green fountain sculpture representing Montreal's commitment to public art and green spaces, colourful tulips that bloom throughout the city's parks and gardens, and the charming historic buildings that line the streets of Old Montreal. The city's architecture showcases a perfect blend of French colonial heritage and modern design, while the lush greenery and public spaces create an urban oasis.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePuzzle Shape:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRectangular\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePiece Count:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e150\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca name=\"_Hlk66116141\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cb\u003eArtist:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDowntown Sketcher\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 12.0pt; line-height: normal;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: 'Segoe UI',sans-serif; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; color: #212b36; mso-fareast-language: EN-CA;\"\u003eWynand van Niekerk was born in South Africa and moved to Canada in 2019. After settling in Halifax, NS, he transformed a lifelong fascination with architecture and storefronts into an outlet to create art. Thus, Downtown Sketcher was born.
