For  those still dealing with precedence study for the Library extension in Goven Mbeki, this will certainly be an interesting building to analyse.

The Royal Ontario Museum by Daniel Libeskind , provides a wonderful opportunity for dramatic new architecture and the creation of a great public attraction. The centrality of the site intensifies the profound relationship between history and the new, between tradition and innovation.

The historical buildings, complemented by forward-looking and bold architecture, form an ensemble which regenerates the urban significance of the Museum, solves the complex functional issues, and dramatically improves exhibitions, facilities, programming and amenities. transforming the entire museum complex into a world-class destination. The expansion and renovation project is known as Renaissance Rom.
