Story: the ROM, unveiled-andreakw
On June 1st, 2007, the Crystal addition to the ROM was unveiled to the world.
I was fortunate to be in the first group of people to be admitted for public exploration of the new wing.
The Crystal still smelled of fresh paint. It was so much bigger on the inside than I expected. With all the niches, corners, gangplanks and stairways, I predict that dozens of schoolchildren will be lost forever on class trips to the Crystal. The many sharp, protruding wall segments are sure to injure visitors: I like that. As it was without any exhibits installed yet, the space was a big minimalist playground.
