Located in the heart of Montreal at Parc Jean-Drapeau, the Biosphere is a huge, transparent geodesic dome. Its uniqueness and sheer massiveness is sure to withhold one’s attention even from afar. This architectural masterpiece is constructed with frames of steel pipes enclosing the large acrylic panels.
The structure looks impressive, its tenacity is even more mind-blowing. This building is so strong, it has survived an accidental fire outbreak that caused the acrylic cover to melt. Yet, the steel frame still withhold the shape of the dome.
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.
You can also take part in activities and events to learn about sustainable development, responsible consumption and how you can also do your part to protect the environment just by twitching your daily life habits bit by bit.
