This T.T.C station is being altered to reflect its connection to the Royal Ontario Museum.


This picture shows the southern-most end of the Museum Station on the University Line.

Interestingly, the bars you see on the left were originally built to temporarily house any people arrested at demonstrations.

It is now used to hold parts and equipment.



The old, 60's era washroom tile design alongside the new terra cotta-like tiles.



The columns are being altered to look like mummies, totem poles and other artifacts.

In this case, they look like roman columns.



It will cost the about $350,000 to renovate the station with the TTC and private donations providing the money.




If you look closely, you can see tiny figures inside the lettering.



In Transit published an article regarding this station in November of 2005.

Wow. I see what you're talking about, interesting use of type. Not what I expected at all. Have to check it out.
