Biosphère - Espace pour la vie
An iconic architectural landmark of Montréal since Expo 67 and erected in a true natural oasis, the Biosphère offers breathtaking views of downtown Montréal and the St. Lawrence River. It presents exhibitions and artistic installations 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.
