BNP Tower - Illuminated Crowd
This striking all glass office tower is perhaps best known for the light-hearted sculpture at its base on McGill College Avenue: Raymond Mason's 'The Illuminated Crowd.
This is a creepy but nice sculpture and you can take great pictures. Light wil always be spread on the wealthy guys leading the crowd, but the always painful crowd will only get glimpses of light.
It is one of downtown's most visited attractions for the art tourists.
The building itself dates from 1983, when the broad avenue was remodelled in the spirit of Paris' Champs-Elysées.
