Observe one of the most challenging construction projects in North America, the Michael Lee-Chin Crystal. The sequence documents development from May 2003 to November 2007 through a series of still images captured daily at 1 pm during construction and at 10-minute intervals throughout opening week.

  • I beg to differ. It represents the foremost artistic modernism which the ROM really needed in order to show the public that history is not an unchanging piece of literature but is rather constantly in the making and the crystal is it's latest chapter.

  • long live the planetrium !!

  • It is exactly the same model used for a shopping mall located on the Las Vegas Strip.

  • that thing is an eye sore and should be demolished.I would rather have the ROM as it was before this concoction was built

  • I LOVE GOING HERE!!! Going here for my school trip tommorow

  • Thanx for the post... making it must be really painstaking....:)

  • I used to live in T.O.,as part of my college art course i had to go to the ROM almost daily, I LOVED it, the grand old stone architecture,the feeling of history and time. It had a stately dignity to it.. Then they went and covered it up with that pop culture looking, angular nightmare of an insult. Crystal my ass, the idea came from a crumpled up piece of paper. And that's where it should have stayed. This whole idea sucks!!!!!!!!

  • What was the building that was torn down ?

  • BING

  • Hmm... how to be eye-catching without being an eye-sore.. How hard can it be? This music is driving my pet bat crazy though!!

  • @Comradelenin1999 AGREED!

  • The beauty of architecture!
