I worked there during this mammoth (no pun intended) renovation. A special building for so many. I'm glad it was given new life so it can provide wonderful memories for more generations.
I wasn't present for the end result, but this doc gave me some wonderful insight into how things finished up. Thank you.

A beautiful job with the restoration. I've been visiting the museum since my youth in the 70s - one of my favourite museums.

This is a great background on Canada's museum heritage. Hoping for more Canadian content such as this soon!
