A Very Special Museum – Biodome de Montreal
The Montreal Biodome (Biodôme de Montréal) is situated in Montreal, Canada. It allows visitors to walk through duplicates of four ecosystems found in the Americas. The building was firstly constructed for the 1976 Olympic Games as a velodrome. It hosted both cycling and judo events. Renovations on the building began in 1989 and in 1992 the inside nature exhibit was opened.
The St. Lawrence Marine ecosystem, reproducing the Estuary and the Gulf;
The Laurentian Forest, changing with the seasons;
The succulent and moist
The Biodome should not be mixed up with the Biosphère, a Montreal museum about the St. Lawrence river placed inside the geodesic dome that once housed the American pavilion for Expo 67. The Biodome, in contrast, is neither spherical nor a geodesic dome, and was once called the Velodome, as it housed the 1976 olympic cycling events. The Biosphere was not an animal and plant conservation/research centre until 1992.
