It’s tough running a museum in the 21stst century, competing with all the flashy distractions of the digital age. The Museum, a two-part TV documentary about the controversial and much-delayed construction of the Royal Ontario Museum’s new addition, shows the rising tension between the museum’s mundane demands and the outlandish ideas of its architect, Daniel Libeskind.

Director Kenton Vaughan chronicles a vital chapter in the life of a museum. It premiered on CBC-TV’s Doc Zone this week and reveals many of the delays, disasters and criticisms the project suffered. However, it is by no means an indictment of the building.
