ROM

The CMS is right across the street from the Royal Ontario Museum, which is a pretty cool sight. I haven't been able to find a picture online of the view from the CMS, but what you see walking out of our building is a large, somewhat late-Victorian looking stone building with nice windows. However, from Bloor street, you see this view:


Normally I am not a fan of modern architecture, but this looks pretty cool. I like that the also decided to integrate the new design into the old building rather than tearing it down and starting from scratch. It looks like several gigantic cubes have fallen out of the sky and crashed into the building. Or, maybe an explosion from the inside of the building itself...

Anyways, I think that it is a good piece of art.
