At Home in the Modern World

Touring Toronto, Part 2

I traveled to Toronto last week to serve on the curatorial committee of Twenty+Change, report a story, and check out the city's current design scene. Having already visited the TIFF Lightbox and having strolled up and down Queen Street West in Part 1, I continue my journey here in Part 2, visiting several new museums and performance centers, shopping in The Junction along Dundas Street West, and meandering through the new Evergreen Brick Works.

I started my tour of cultural institutions with a visit to the Royal Ontario Museum, more commonly known in Toronto as the ROM. The new Michael Lee-Chin Crystal was designed by Studio Daniel Libeskind with local firm Bregman + Hamann Architects and juts out of the original building, which dates back to 1914.
