The famously ambitious Royal Ontario Museum expansion that started out as a few scribbles on a napkin will open its doors to the public this weekend.Members of the public will get their first chance to step inside the ROM's new Michael Lee-Chin Crystal on midnight Sunday. The bare interior of the controversial addition will be on view for 10 days.
Investment mogul Michael Lee-Chin, the lead donor of the $270-million ROM revamp, called the Daniel Libeskind-designed addition "a quantum leap from tradition and the past to the future."

Quote from article: "called the Daniel Libeskind-designed addition "a quantum leap from tradition and the past to the future.""
After
Daniel Libeskind's concept for The Freedom Tower was changed beyond
recognition, it is great to see that some of his pioneer designs have
been realized.
