The biosphere is esthetically pleasing to the eye. It's a spherical wonder seen from afar and adds character to the Montreal skyline. The Environment Museum within this inciting steel skeleton is good in concept, but is lacking in execution.
The Environment Museum seems to miss the mark. It doesn't cater to any one specific demographic or any specific type of learner effectively. It appears that it's intended target audience are school-aged kids, but I can see them losing interest very quickly. Very quickly. It's missing the modern interactive experience that younger audiences are accustomed to and the integrated learning approach that has become standard in the medical and science field. The interactive activities available may be too laborious for the average museum patron who intends to be spoon-fed information. The price for admission and parking is questionably justifiable for those of you with younger kids.
