An enduring symbol of Montréal’s bold and visionary spirit since Expo 67, the Biosphère stands as one of the city’s most iconic and instantly recognizable architectural landmarks. Nestled within a breathtaking natural oasis, it offers sweeping, unforgettable views of downtown Montréal and the shimmering St. Lawrence River — a setting as spectacular as the experiences it holds within.

Inside, a thoughtfully curated world of exhibitions and artistic installations invites visitors into a rich and stimulating dialogue between science, culture, social innovation, and the environment. With curiosity as its guiding spirit, the Biosphère empowers every visitor to deepen their understanding of the most pressing environmental issues of our time — and more importantly, to discover the inspiring solutions that give us reason to hope.

A place where wonder and responsibility beautifully coexist.
