Montreal Biosphere - Montreal, Canada
This museum is located in Montreal, Canada, and it is entirely dedicated to the environment. The designer of this unusual structure was architect Richard Buckminster Fuller, who created a complex dome style structure, which was actually the United States Pavilion for the World Fair Expo ’67. The structure is 61 meters high and the diameter of the sphere is 78 meters. It’s main frame is made of steel pipes, and uses around 1,900 acrylic panels on its facades. Today, the sphere serves as a location where there are often several interactive exhibits for children, and several other special cultural and entertainment programs for all ages.
