Here are some shots of the renovation. The first is from inside the museum looking out into the construction. I believe that this will be part of the new entrance area...

The second is take from across the road (opposite corner) and shows some of the iron work that will support the "crystal" as they are calling the new addition. It was designed by Daniel Leibskind and is supposed to evoke the look of a crystal (the ROM has an amazing rock, gem and mineral collection). Needless to say, the addition is not without controversy.
