Read MoreThe Biosphere or La Biosphère de Montréal is a museum dedicated to the environment. It sits on Saint Helen’s Island which was home of the 1967 World Fair. Surrounded by lush greenery and miles of likely maple trees, the structure should be an anomaly, and yet blends into the sky. The airiness and the conservatory nature of the geodesic dome commemorates that which it tries to teach. Being one with the environment.

It was recently that the preservation and redevelopment efforts began to preserve the uniqueness in the narrow cobblestone streets and old building facades that marks a long history of French and British influence.
