This giant dome from Expo ’67 is hard to miss from most areas, both on and off the island. As an environmental museum, it is one of the city’s most unique attractions.
Head to Saint Helen's Island (near Jean-Drapeau metro station) to visit this museum dedicated to the environment. This unique structure by American architect Buckminster Fuller housed the United States pavilion during the Montreal World's Fair of 1967. Unused for a long time, this huge steel structure now covers a museum particularly dedicated to the understanding of biodiversity, climate change and sustainable development. The Biosphère provides an ideal day out for the entire family, and a way to better understand the world around us and the challenges that we now face.
