Renaissance ROM
Extension to the Royal Ontario Museum: The Crystal

 

 

 

The Royal Ontario Museum is one of the largest museums in North America. It is a museum of natural history and culture, exhibiting everything from dinoasaur bones to Ming dynasty tombs. The form of the building was inspired by the crystal collection in the museum.

Renaissance ROM is an addition to the historical building as well as a renovation of the existing galleries. Creating a new dramatic gateway, a museum shop, and a rooftop restaurant, the new building will enhance the visitor experience. It provides exciting yet functional gallery spaces that will allow the museum to bring a larger portion of its collections out of storage and place them in the public’s view.
