This architectural masterpiece is constructed with frames of steel pipes enclosing the large acrylic panels.

Now, this spherical dome is opened to the public, and has been turned into a museum dedicated to the environment.

A visit to the Biosphere is a treat for all ages, especially kids who love to engage in hands-on interactive exhibits.

The Biosphere features exhibitions and conducts activities that are entertaining and educational. Some of the areas that the museum focuses on include understanding the major environmental issues such as water scarcity and climate change.
