Museum Station may not even be the most beautiful station on the Yonge-University-Spadina line (ever seen Dupont Station, guys?), let alone the planet, and yet it seems to have impressed someone at the Guardian. There, on a list of the most beautiful metro stations in the world, is our very own sculpture-bedecked subway stop. None of this is to say that Museum Station’s interior, completed in 2008, isn’t very nice. It is, and it would have been great if the Toronto Community Foundation, which helped fund the renovation, had been able to follow through with its plans to help remake other stations in similar style. Still, Museum is no Stockholm rainbow cave.
