The Royal Ontario Museum, commonly known as the ROM, is located in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It is Canada's largest museum of world culture and natural history.

The museum is currently undergoing a major renovation and expansion project, dubbed Renaissance ROM. The centrepiece is the recently-opened Michael Lee-Chin Crystal, designed by architect Daniel Libeskind and Bregman + Hamann Architects; installation of exhibits in the addition will continue over a period of months. Existing galleries and buildings are also being modified. Renovated galleries in the historic buildings will reopen in stages, and all work is scheduled to be completed by 2010. The final cost of the project will be $270 million CAD.

The Libeskind design, selected from among 50 entrants in an international competition, saw the award winning Terrace Galleries torn down and replaced with a Deconstructivist crystalline-form clad in 25 percent glass and 75 percent aluminium. The building is named after Michael Lee-Chin, who donated $30 million towards its construction. It houses the new main entrance to the museum, a gift shop, a restaurant (C5 Restaurant and Lounge), a cafeteria (Food Studio), seven additional galleries and Canada's largest temporary exhibition hall in the lower level.

The Dalí Theatre and Museum (Teatre-Museu Dalí in Catalan language), is a museum of the artist Salvador Dalí in his home town of Figueres, in Catalonia.

The heart of the museum was the building that housed the town's theater when Dalí was a child, and where one of the first public exhibitions of young Dalí's art was shown. The old theater was bombed in the Spanish Civil War and remained in a state of ruin for decades until Dalí and the mayor of Figueres decided to rebuild it as a museum dedicated to the town's most famous son in 1960. The museum also occupies buildings and courtyards adjacent to the old theater building.]]> http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/the-torre-galatea-at-the-dal-theater-and-museum-teatre-museu-dal/ http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/the-torre-galatea-at-the-dal-theater-and-museum-teatre-museu-dal/ Tue, 22 Sep 2009 15:57:41 -0700 http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/the-torre-galatea-at-the-dal-theater-and-museum-teatre-museu-dal/ 42.26807800 2.95931600 <![CDATA[Whyte Museum of the Canadian Rockies]]>

In the summer of 2006, the six photographic artists of The Legacy Project unveiled the world's largest photograph at a special reception held inside the world's largest camera. This mammoth photograph is three stories high by eleven stories long and provides a panoramic view of a portion of the former Marine Corps Air Station El Toro that is destined to become the heart of the Orange County Great Park.

The photograph is a magnificent tribute to a historic turning point in Orange County history as well as a statement about the evolution of the photographic medium, hand versus mechanical/technological processes, and the importance of “vision machines” to the advancement of culture.

This record setting project qualifies for two categories in the Guinness Book of World Records: the world’s largest photograph and the world’s largest camera.

The Great Picture was produced on-site in a former airplane hangar converted over a two month period by the six photographic artists of The Legacy Project into the world’s largest camera. Support from hundreds of individuals, businesses, and sponsors made the project possible.]]>

(See accompanying photo)

The steep stairs of the Reina Sofia modern art gallery are a favorite hangout for pick-pockets. They generally follow tourists up the stairs, pretending to be scouring a map. As they close on the tourist's wallet or purse, they reach from beneath the map and voila!—a vacation gone under the cover of the map.

I was a couple of steps behind my wife as we were ascending the same stairs, when I looked over and saw the guy in the attached photo with his hand in her backpack-purse. I said, "Hey that guy has his hand in your purse!" At which point he turned and said, "No I don't!" I snapped his picture, but in the days of digital cameras taking eons to click, he managed to disguise-at least his face - with the same map.

We showed the photo to the contingent of police at the museum, and they said they'd keep an eye out for the guy. Yet, an hour later, as we were descending in the museum's glass elevators, we helplessly watched as the same guy walked up behind an elderly man on the same stairs, pulled out the map, and pulled out the poor guy's wallet. At which point we were all banging on the glass walls of the elevator, catching the attention of the police, and setting in motion a huge foot chase with us, the police and the thief. The thief escaped, I'm sorry to say. ]]>

In December 2007, the New Museum opened the doors to its new location on 235 Bowery, at Prince Street. This new facility, designed by the Tokyo-based firm Sejima + Nishizawa/SANAA and the New York-based firm Gensler, has greatly expanded the Museum’s exhibitions and space. In March 2008, the museum's new building was named one of the architectural seven wonders by Conde Nast Traveler.

The Oscar Niemeyer Museum (Museu Oscar Niemeyer) is located in the city of Curitiba, in the state of Paraná, in Brazil. It was inaugurated in 2002 with the name Novo Museu or New Museum. With the conclusion of remodeling and the construction of a new annex, it was reinaugurated on July 8, 2003, with the current denomination to honor its famous architect who completed this project at 95 years of age. It is also known as Museu do Olho or Museum of the Eye, due to the design of the building.
The museum focuses on the visual arts, architecture and design. For its magnificence, beauty and for the importance of the collection, it represents a cultural institution of international significance. The complex of two buildings, installed in an area of 35 thousand square meters (of which 19 thousand are dedicated to exhibition space), it is a true example of architecture allied with art. The first building was designed by Oscar Niemeyer in 1967, faithful to the style of the time, and conceived as an educational institute. It was remodeled and adapted to function as a museum, for which Niemeyer designed the annex, reminiscent of an eye, imprinting it with a new characteristic identity.

It was used from 1940 to 1944 to store Jewish cultural property looted by the Nazi regime in France (see Rose Valland).
