Karen spent 5 arts filled days in Toronto with MIT's Art Council. Liebeskind's sketch on the back of a cocktail napkin for the ROM's Crystal extension, personifies what you find repeatedly - modern slipping into Victorian. The AGO's wooden spines designed by Gehry, reflect the exhibit of ship's maquettes down below and make room for warehouse sized installations above. Then there's the incredible photo collection at the Ryerson Image Center, the Gardiner for ceramics or the Bata shoe museum - just to get started.
Did I mention the opera, symphony, theatre and dance?
The arts here are amazing, the architecture plentiful, the people relaxed - and in under 2-hours from Boston - it should be on your list. So remember to pronounce it "Toronno", pack light and trusts me, you'll have a wonderful time!
