Biosphère - Montréal Space for Life
An iconic architectural landmark of Montréal since Expo 67, the Biosphère became a museum dedicated to the environment in 1995 and joined the Espace pour la vie museum complex in April 2021. Located in the heart of Parc Jean-Drapeau on Île Sainte-Hélène, its geodesic dome is the best-known architectural work of the famous Richard Buckminster Fuller, one of the fathers of contemporary environmental thinking.  The Biosphère presents a dozen exhibitions, artistic installations as well as scientific activities, prompting dialogue between science, culture, social innovation and the environment. Its activities allow curious minds to better understand the major contemporary environmental issues and to discover solutions to face them. Erected in a true natural oasis, this pioneering example of sustainable architecture offers breathtaking views of downtown Montréal and the St. Lawrence River.
