  • What can I write about the ROM that hasn't already been written? Well, how about a story? I've been to the ROM quite a few times; first as a high school student on a field trip, on whims, on rainy days and on the opening day of the "Crystal Age," the 30 million dollar donation to the expansion from Micheal Lee Chin was AMAZING to see! I went pretty camera-crazy that day (see pictures). Seeing the museum from this perspective was quite unique. There were no artifacts or objects or pieces of antiquity filling the ROM. Instead, it was bare; a bare canvas that truly showed the juxtaposition of the old museum with the new. I was, at first disappointed when I heard of what was proposed to the ROM. I liked the old building. It looked and felt like a museum should. When I first started seeing the construction, I was skeptical and judgemental; how was it going to work? It kind of looked like this metal and glass structure had jammed its self into the old building and I didn't like it! I didn't like it at all!.... But, on the day of the opening there was a huge buzz about the new ROM. I was expecting to be disappointed, but instead was overjoyed at the experience. Me, knowing nothing about architecture and feeling like I had no appreciation for it, was able to both understand and accept his radical changes. The ROM is a place I'd recommend to anyone and everyone, and not just for the dinosaur bones or Aztec artifacts. The building itself, the blend of antiquity and modern truly make it a great Toronto landmark and a wonderful testament to what a museum can be.
