The Royal Ontario Museum's "Crystal" entrance. The design was sketched by Daniel Libeskind on the back of a cocktail napkin while attending a wedding reception at the ROM and Inspired by the its gem and mineral collection. Emerging from the original Victorian structure, this expansion opened on June 2, 2007 after 5 years of construction and $260 million, to very mixed reviews. True, Toronto has nothing quite like this steal frame structure clad in glass and brushed aluminum.
What's inside? Equally amazing.
