About

The Royal Ontario Museum connects people to their world and to each other

Story

Opened in 1914, the Royal Ontario Museum (ROM) showcases art, culture, and nature from around the globe and across the ages. One of North America's most renowned cultural institutions, Canada's largest museum is home to a world-class collection of more than six million objects and specimens, featured in 40 gallery and exhibition spaces. As the country’s preeminent field research institute and an international leader in new and original findings in biodiversity, palaeontology, earth sciences, the visual arts, material culture and archaeology, the ROM plays a vital role in advancing our global understanding of the artistic, cultural and natural world. The Renaissance ROM expansion project (2007) merged the iconic architectural heritage of the original building with the Studio Daniel Libeskind-designed Michael Lee-Chin Crystal. A distinctive new symbol of Toronto for the 21st century, the Crystal marked the beginning of a new era for the ROM as the country's premier cultural and social destination.

Being my first time in downtown Toronto, my girlfriend wanted to show me some of the city’s attractions, and the Royal Ontario Museum ROM was high on the list. We got general admission tickets and managed to explore every floor in just a couple of hours—though honestly, you could easily spend much longer if you wanted to.nnThe exhibits were impressive and offered a little bit of everything. I was especially drawn to the Ancient Egyptian section, which had some incredibly unique pieces I hadn’t seen in other museums—like a tomb reconstruction you can actually walk into, a full mummy skeleton, and other human remains on display that were both fascinating and a little eerie.nnMeanwhile, my girlfriend was all about the geology section, and it’s easy to see why—the displays were colorful, detailed, and surprisingly engaging even if rocks aren’t usually your thing.nnThere were also a few special exhibits that we didn’t have time to see this trip, but I’d definitely come back for those alone. Overall, it was a great way to spend an afternoon and a perfect introduction to the city’s museum scene.
The Royal Ontario Museum ROM is an outstanding cultural landmark in Toronto, offering an impressive range of exhibits that cater to diverse interests. From ancient civilizations and massive dinosaur skeletons to vibrant world cultures and captivating gems, the museum provides a truly immersive experience. The space is well-organized, making it easy to explore, and the knowledgeable staff adds to the experience. Whether you’re delving into history, art, or natural sciences, there’s something here for everyone. A visit to the ROM is not only educational but also an enjoyable way to experience Toronto’s rich cultural heritage. Highly recommended for both tourists and locals.
Obviously gorgeous and amazing, very accessible and has lots of beautiful historical artifacts. My only qualms I have with this place is that the Indigenous artifacts are in the back, we should have more social movements that have been historically important to Canada be front in centre as well as genuine Canadian history such as Indigenous culture also front in centre of the museum. I think showing more human Canadian history is needed as well as global artifacts.
The exhibits here are very diverse, covering everything from natural history and ancient civilizations to modern art and cultural artifacts.nnThe dinosaur fossils and Egyptian mummies were definite highlights for me. The museum itself is stunning, blending historical and modern architecture beautifully.
An incredible experience! The Royal Ontario Museum is a perfect blend of history, culture, and nature. From towering dinosaur skeletons to ancient Egyptian artifacts and stunning Indigenous art, every exhibit is thoughtfully curated. The architecture is breathtaking, and the interactive displays make learning fun. A must-visit for all ages!
