Espace pour la vie closes the Planétarium Rio Tinto Alcan and the Jardin Botanique to the public as of Friday, March 13

MONTREAL, March 12, 2020 /CNW Telbec/ - With the health of the public at heart, supported by the City of Montreal, and following the government of Quebec's directive to cancel or postpone all indoor events attended by more than 250 people, the management of Space for Life has decided to close the Planétarium Rio Tinto Alcan and the Jardin botanique as of tomorrow, until further notice.

This decision only applies to public presence in our museums. The administrative offices of Space for Life will remain open and employees are invited to respect the precautionary measures issued by the City of Montreal.

Individuals who have purchased a ticket for any of the activities at either of these museums can postpone their visit or get a refund by contacting Customer Service at 514 868-3000.

Space for Life will keep the public informed of developments on a regular basis via social networks.

Please note that the outdoor gardens of the Jardin botanique are also affected by this measure and will be closed.

Espace pour la vie is made up of four attractions on the same site: the Biodôme, Insectarium, Jardin botanique and Planétarium Rio Tinto Alcan. These four prestigious municipal institutions form Canada's largest natural science museum complex. Together, they are launching a daring, creative urban movement, encouraging all of us to rethink the connection between humankind and nature and cultivate a new way of living.
