Science World Becomes Giant Soccer Ball

Vancouver’s Science World has been transformed into a colossal 17-story soccer ball for the World Cup, turning the iconic geodesic dome into a giant replica of the official match ball — a viral sensation that’s become the city’s most Instagrammable landmark. What started as a playful idea evolved into a massive public project, funded by Adidas, local businesses, and government, with custom-engineered panels and drone scans to tackle the dome’s unique geometry. Now, it’s not just a visual marvel — the museum also hosts a FIFA exhibit featuring Canadian soccer history, including Christine Sinclair’s jersey and Alphonso Davies’ historic goal ball. While officials hoped for global recognition during the tournament, the real win? Unprecedented social media buzz and daily viral moments that have turned the giant ball into a worldwide talking point. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
