O Jardim Botânico de Montreal é um grande jardim botânico localizado em Montreal, Canadá, província de Quebec. É o segundo maior do mundo, em área, atrás somente dos Jardins Botânicos Reais de Kew, em Londres, Reino Unido. Está localizada ao lado do Estádio Olímpico de Montreal.
O Jardim Botânico de Montreal foi fundado em 1931, no auge da Grande Depressão, pelo então prefeito Camillien Houde. Habitantes da cidade possuem livre acesso às áreas exteriores do Jardim.
The Montreal Botanical Garden (French: Jardin botanique de Montréal) is a large botanical garden in Montreal, Quebec, Canada comprising 185 acres (748,668 square meters) of thematic gardens and greenhouses.
The botanical garden is located at 4101 Sherbrooke Street East , at the corner of Pie-IX and Sherbrooke Streets, in Maisonneuve Park, facing Montreal's Olympic Stadium. It contains a greenhouse complex full of plants from around the world, and a number of large outdoor gardens, each with a specific theme. The outdoor gardens are bare and covered with snow from about November until about April, but the greenhouses are open to visitors year round, hosting the annual Butterflies Go Free exhibit from February to April.
The garden was founded in 1931, in the height of the Great Depression, by mayor Camillien Houde, after years of campaigning by Brother Marie-Victorin; the grounds were designed by Henry Teuscher. It serves to educate the public in general and students of horticulture in particular, as well as to conserve endangered plant species. The grounds are also home to a botanical research institution, and to the Montreal Insectarium; offsite, the Garden staff also administer the Ferme Angrignon educational farm and petting zoo.
While it charges admission, city residents can obtain a pass granting free admission to the outdoor gardens, so many people visit regularly, even if only to sit under the trees. The outdoor areas are also free to everyone between 6 p.m. and nightfall during the summer season (May to September). Many weddings are performed in the gardens every year. The nearest metro station is Pie-IX, which is located on the corner of the Olympic Stadium.
Last year, the first action taken on setting up the Mundo, was fixing some old tubes for frame protection

"El mundo" por Eduardo Galeano
Un hombre del pueblo de Neguá, en la costa de Colombia, pudo subir al alto cielo.
A la vuelta, contó. Dijo que había contemplado, desde allá arriba, la vida humana. Y dijo que somos un mar de fueguitos.
-El mundo es eso –reveló-. Un montón de gente, un mar de fueguitos.
Cada persona brilla con luz propia entre todas las demás. No hay dos fuegos iguales. Hay fuegos grandes y fuegos chicos y fuegos de todos los colores. Hay gente de fuego sereno, que ni se entera del viento, y gente de fuego loco, que llena el aire de chispas. Algunos fuegos, fuegos bobos, no alumbran ni queman; pero otros arden la vida con tantas ganas que no se pude mirarlos sin parpadear, y quien se acerca, se enciende.

"The World" by Eduardo Galeano (approximate translation)
A man of the people of Neguá, on the coast of Colombia, could climb to high heaven.
Upon his return, he said. He said he had seen, from up above human life. And he said that we are a sea of little fires.
"The world,' he revealed, 'is a heap of people, a sea of tiny flames.'
Each person shines with his or her own light. No two flames are alike. There are big flames and little flames, flames of every colour. Some peoples flames are so still they don't even flicker in the wind, while others have wild flames that fill the air with sparks.
Some foolish flames neither burn nor shed light, but others blaze with life so fiercely that you can't look at them without blinking and if you approach, you shine in fire."

This train is part of a museum dedicated to the history of steam power in Canela, a city in Southern Brazil. The name of the museum is Mundo a Vapor (something like The World on Steam), and the front side of the building is a reproduction of the notorious derailment in Montparnasse Station, which happened in 1895 (Paris - France).
