The Biosphere museum in Montreal, Canada

When Montreal, Quebec, hosted the World’s Fair in 1967, this geodesic dome was one of the main attractions. Designed by futurist and inventor Buckminster Fuller, the dome was a glimpse at humanity’s potential future. Nearly a decade after the dome was built, fire ravaged the exterior and the site was unused until Environment Canada, a federal government environmental agency, bought it in 1990. Together with the city of Montreal, Environment Canada eventually turned the dome into Biosphere, a museum dedicated to environmental science and education about climate change. It’s just one of countless museums that you might visit today, on International Museum Day.
