The Biodôme de Montréal introduces two all-new permanent exhibitions titled “A Close-knit Nature” and “Mégaceta.” These two experiences examine specimens selected from over 5,000 from the Biodôme’s meticulously restored natural history collection. Visitors are able to view the minute details of keystone species such as Quebec’s native owls, giant laughing kookaburra, and the Canadian beaver, as well as learn about the behavior of magnificent humpback whales from life-sized projections.
“A Close-knit Nature, the Biodôme’s all-new permanent exhibition, takes us into the world of keystone species to better understand how they maintain the balance of ecosystems. Among the naturalized specimens carefully selected from the Biodôme’s natural history collection are a collection of hummingbirds nearly a hundred years old, a cyanobacteria fossil, and an impressive series of birds of prey. The visit concludes with the immersive Mégaceta experience, in which visitors discover the behaviour of humpback whales through life-size digital projections of wondrous beauty.” Newswire
