Converted cargo pier turned interactive science museum with an IMAX theatre on the historic waterfront.
This guide to the Montreal Science Centre traces King Edward Pier from its opening as a cargo wharf in nineteen oh three through decades of freight traffic, its decline in the nineteen seventies, and its unlikely rebirth as an IMAX theatre in nineteen eighty-eight. It follows the wharf's transformation into the iSci Centre in two thousand, opened with Prime Minister Jean Chretien on hand. Listen for the groan of old timber beneath the esplanade's new planks.
