Visiting the eclectic, eccentric side of Toronto
For one thing, more than ever the city is displaying and celebrating its wealth and success. It`s a great city in the process of becoming a world-class city, with a new opera house; a new and glittering $270 million addition to the Royal Ontario Museum; a cutting-edge, $254 million addition designed by Frank Gehry to the Art Gallery of Ontario, which will open later this year; and a new center that will be the home of the Toronto International Film Festival. Festival Centre includes screening rooms, full-size cinemas, a gallery, a library, shops and restaurants.
The city is also building a 150-acre shopping and entertainment complex centered on extensive studios for filmmakers, who last year spent more than $700 million in Toronto, which has become a kind of Hollywood North.
