Hi, this is Kana Hirata. I saw a lot of building
materials today, and I decided to introduce about ROYAL ONTARIO MUSEUM. Since
I'll go study abroad to Toronto in this summer, I chose the museum located in
the city of Toronto. ROYAL ONTARIO MUSEUM was built in 1912 and opened in 1914.
It is usually called ROM. Works of art that exhibits a wide range of fields
from archeology to art. In 2003 the new building was added to this architecture,
in 2007 it was complete. This new sturacture is called Michael Lee-Chin Crystal, which was designed by Daniel
Libeskind. Daniel is Poland system American.
I think this architect is fusion of old and new. It is
beautiful. This is the photo of the museum.
The old building connect to the new building by corridor.
Approximately 3,500 tons of steel and 38 tons of bolts were used to create the skeleton, and roughly 9,000 cubic metres of concrete were poured.

Hi, Kana! I like a traditional museum, so when I see the photo of this, I become excited. The combination of the new building and old is great.
