Montreal Natural Ecology Museum
Montréal
The Montreal Museum of Natural Ecology was originally a cycling track for the 1976 Montreal Olympics, designed by French architect Roger Taillibert in the shape of a cyclist's helmet. In 1989, the original venue was converted into the Museum of Natural Ecology. In 1992, the Montreal Museum of Natural Ecology was officially unveiled. In 2018, the museum underwent a renovation and took two years to complete before reopening on August 31, 2020.
01.Overview of Exhibition Perception
The Montreal Museum of Natural Ecology is divided into five exhibition areas: Tropical Rainforest, Saint Lawrence Bay, Laurent Maple Grove, Labrador Coast, and Sub Antarctic Islands. The exhibition focuses on the core theme of "Nature and Urban Coexistence", showcasing the harmonious relationship between natural ecology and human society, and guiding visitors to think about the interaction between humans and nature. From macro to micro, starting from the integrity of natural ecology, and gradually delving into specific natural elements and biodiversity.
02.Design thinking
The core concept of the Montreal Museum of Natural Ecology is the harmonious coexistence of nature and humanity. The museum strives to use local materials (such as Canadian poplar and maple trees) and natural elements (such as local plants and water bodies) to create an atmosphere of "nature in the city, city in nature". The Montreal Museum of Natural Ecology has approximately 230 species of animals and 750 species of plants, with a total of 250000 animals. The designer adopts a spatial hierarchy and modular form, dividing multiple dimensions of natural ecology into independent and connected areas, creating a more immersive sensory experience for tourists.
