Ever wondered what happens to iconic World Expo structures after the event ends? Meet Montreal's Biosphere 🏛️—a glittering geodesic dome that started life as the U.S. Pavilion during Expo 67. Today, it’s a buzzing eco-museum inspiring climate action! 🌿
Designed by visionary architect Buckminster Fuller (think: ‘spaceship Earth’ vibes 🚀), this landmark in Parc Jean-Drapeau is now a beacon for environmental education. It’s like Epcot’s cooler, eco-conscious cousin—hosting exhibits on sustainability and urging visitors to join the ‘socio-ecological transition.’ 💡
Fun fact: The dome’s 1,900 acrylic panels originally shielded pavilion-goers from the elements. Now, they shelter ideas for a greener future. 🌐 Whether you’re into architecture, history, or TikTok-ready backdrops, the Biosphere proves old Expo treasures can become tomorrow’s changemakers. Who said museums can’t slay? 💫
