It's being done because the original crystal architecture frankly has underperformed programmatically (or even failed if one wishes to be harsher about the amount of remedial work being done on what would have been considered an 'untouchable' piece of art).

The main staircase in it was designed to be used as sort of display for artefacts.

Unfortunately, I find the ROM to be underwhelming these days overall.

The artefacts and displays haven't changed much in 20 years while the costs have gone up.

The special exhibitions are also underwhelming. I went to the immersive earth exhibition recently and was left scratching my head.

I considered getting a ROM membership but it's not really worth it. You don't even get a tax receipt for the membership like you would with the curators circle.
