The Thing on the Rom


The Thing on the Rom, originally uploaded by Melsky.

This is a new addition to the Royal Ontario Museum, supposed to look like a crystal dropped on an old building. It's under construction. It is supposed to be finished in June.

I don't like it. I wish they would put art museums in simple, quiet buildings. It seems like every art museum wants to be part of the artwork, screaming "Look at me, look at me!" so loud that it distracts from the art.

In reality, the building only adds to the art and magnifies the experience. I went to Denver Museum by the same architect- very succesful project.
