The new extension to the old museum building is made in the form of a huge crystal. It consists of ¾ aluminum and ¼ glass. The opinions of Toronto residents about the appearance of the museum are divided. Some consider it depressing, while others consider it beautiful.
Interestingly, the crystal has a Chinese name — the Chi Lin crystal. The fact is that there was not enough money in the city budget for the construction of such an expensive project, and most of it, which is about $ 30 million, was invested in the construction by Michael Lee Chin, a local businessman.
