The Montréal Insectarium is an museum showing off a large quantity of insects from all around the world. It is the largest North American insectarium and among the largest in the world. It was founded by Georges Brossard and opened February 7, 1990. It's average attendance is of 400,000 visitors per year. It displays both live and dead insect collections, from butterflies to bees and ants.
It is one of the city's most popular tourist attractions, along with the Montreal Botanical Garden, Montreal Planetarium and the Montreal Biodome.
Seen from the sky the Montreal Insectarium ressembles a stylised insect. This can be well seen from the observatory of Montreal's Olympic Stadium.
