About

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

Description

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.



"Founded in 1914, the Royal Ontario Museum showcases art, culture and nature from around the world and across the ages. Among the top 10 cultural institutions in North America, Canada’s largest and most comprehensive museum is home to a world-class collection of 13 million artworks, cultural objects and natural history specimens, featured in 40 gallery and exhibition spaces. As the country’s preeminent field research institute and an international leader in new discoveries, the ROM plays a vital role in advancing our understanding of the artistic, cultural and natural world."

Reviews
I recently visited the museum and was thoroughly impressed by the diverse range of historical collections from various countries. The museum's dedication to showcasing artifacts and exhibits from different cultures and time periods truly made it a unique and enriching experience. The attention to detail in the displays and the informative descriptions provided a comprehensive understanding of each collection. I particularly appreciated how the museum fostered cultural appreciation and understanding through its exhibits. It was a wonderful opportunity to learn about different countries' histories all in one place. I highly recommend this museum to anyone interested in exploring Canadian history or Global heritage history.
I’ve been twice now and have had no regrets. what you miss the first round you can catch the second. We used the Toronto city pass which was well worth it price wise. We didn’t worry about parking because we walked from our accommodations. This place is HUGE with something for everyone. I loved all the exhibits on display, lots of information and a lot to look at. The human era was my favourite, I loved seeing the animals and the way things progressed through time. A lot of the skeletons are real or contain real fossils which is absolutely mind blowing. We didn’t eat here though the food options looked nice at the cafe. You are able to leave and come back the same day as many times as you want with your tickets which is great. I recommend 4 hours minimum if you’re someone who likes to digest what you see. There is a LOT. Loads of cultural historical pieces. It’s honestly like art work at times. We didn’t interact with staff at all as there was digital scanners for entry. It’s VERY clean. Highly recommend.
Must visit this beautiful museum. As one of the largest museums in Canada, it truly has a lot to show. We visited the day of the King's Coronation, and the exhibit was free for all guests. The line was definitely worth the wait. The architecture combined with the extensive biological and cultural displays made for a wonderful day trip. Was especially impressed with the crystal collection located on the second floor. Would recommend for families wanting to learn and explore as well as with friends and dates. If you enjoy history, art, and museums in general, this museum is the place to go.
There just isn't enough time to see everything in one day... But it's worth the effort! One could literally spend a half day or more just on the bottom free area... And we practically did. The Chinese, Korean, and Japanese displays were AMAZING! The amount of Buddhist history contained here is just wonderful to take in. Some of our other family favorites were the free kids crafts, dinosaurs, the bat cave, and the Egyptian collection. General admission is definitely worth it just for the ancient civilizations collections on the third floor. We also did the special exhibit T-Rex and didn't find it worth the extra cost. The exhibit was alright but didn't really engage any of us though there were some cool sculptures of T-Rex at various stages of life and even a baby tyrannosaur to see at the beginning of the exhibit. Unless you are a die hard dinosaur enthusiast, it can probably be safely skipped. The gift shop was also a bit of a let down as, though it's an incredibly nice looking and well kept gift shop, it didn't really have anything that is of the museum besides a few black shirts and hats that say ROM and nothing else was looking for, perhaps, local photographers pictures of exhibits for sale, local artist renditions of the building or exhibits, or anything really that we could take home instead of random stuffed animals that didn't have anything to do with anything in the museum, random books, and random jewelry. The Egyptian collection is very well curated and the amount of wooden sculptures is staggering. The sarcophagus area is awe inspiring and the displays are beautifully built and house the pieces without distracting from them. All in all, the ROM is a must see in Toronto!
Best place in Toronto. They have lots of self-serve kiosks that can save your time getting your ticket. Usually they have some kind of discount based on your zip code. You can check that on the ROM website. They had the first nation exhibition which I liked a lot. Lots of native Indian artifacts and lots of information. They had a special dinosaur exhibition too for a limited time. Check what special exhibition they have before you go. They had other regular exhibitions like China, Egypt, Rome, Africa, India and Europe.
I went to ROM on a Friday morning just as they opened. The museum staff was helpful and almost knew exactly when you were about to ask a question because their answers were knowledgeable and what I needed to know. The exhibits were beautifully arranged. I had no issue guiding myself through each floor. I especially loved the 2nd floor exhibits with the many hundreds of animals and how humans have impacted their environments. With all the sad aspects of that reality, they are a responsible and caring organization by showing that all is not lost. Lastly, the museum does get a bit bust with groups of folks, young and old. It didn't bother me a bit. This museum deserves each and every patron's entry ticket cost, and then some.
ROM was a huge success. If you have the time then please relax and enjoy what the museum has to offer. If you truly enjoy what ROM has to show then you could be in there for at least three hours. There was so much to see and read that I really found myself fascinated in. I’d recommend to anyone of any age to tour the museum!Visited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedYes
So much to see at the Royal Ontario Museum! The architecture is also unique-combination of ancient and modern. Best way to experience it is to plan beforehand the exhibits you are going to see. If not, can be quite overwhelming. If going with children do not miss the bat cave! Take note there is free entry for the ground level floor for many months of the year. The Chinese and Asian art here is enough for a museum visit.
Loved the richness and all the details exhibited in the museum! If you are with smaller kids, I would recommend bringing a cart and toys so they can sleep or rest in while you read through all the texts! It’s a sea of knowledge and fascinating discoveries! Kids loved the nature and animals section!
I visited here yesterday, haven't been to this museum in a long while because I live out of town, but it was well worth the trip! I recommend buying tickets in advance. This museum has 4 floors, and offers something for everyone's taste in history, and culture. Beautiful exhibits, artifacts, and so much history preserved. My favorite galleries are Europe, ancient Greece, Rome, Evolution of Style, Earth's Treasures, Biodiversity Life in Crisis. I checked out the T-Rex Special Exhibition Gallery, and it was pretty cool learning about the Evolution of the T-Rex, and also its bloodlines. Great artifacts on display. I recommend you plan a whole day here if you want to see everything. They have a nice Cafe here, and a sitting area. The Cafe offers coffee, cakes, and other sweets. The staff were amazing, and knowledgeable when asked any questions. I highly recommend this establishment for a nice day out, to explore history, and culture's around the globe.
