About the museum

The Biosphère joined the Montréal Space for Life museum complex. It presents exhibitions and artistic installations, prompting dialogue between science, culture, social innovation and the environment. Located in the heart of parc Jean-Drapeau, this pioneering example of sustainable architecture and iconic architectural landmark of Montréal offers breathtaking views of downtown Montréal and the St. Lawrence River.
