Royal Ontario Museum (ROM)

The rom Canada museum on the corner of Queen’s Park Ave and Bloor St W is Canada’s largest and has exhibits covering the natural sciences, the animal world, art and archaeology and, broadly, the history of humankind. The royal museum covers five floors, so a visit takes some time.

The collection of Chinese crafts, textiles and assorted arts is considered one of the best anywhere. The Egyptian, Greek, Roman and Etruscan civilizations are also represented.
The dinosaur and mamma logy rooms are fascinating with the latter containing a replica of part of an immense bat cave found in Jamaica. Another section outlines the history of trade between the east and west, from the ancient caravan routes through to more modern times. The bird gallery, with a huge stuffed albatross and numerous display cabinets with pull-out drawers to explore, is very good. 

the SR Perron Gem & Gold Room (actually four octagonal rooms), displays a dazzling collection of riches, including the 193-carat Star of Lanka Sapphire, a 776 carat behemoth opal from Australia and handfuls of rubies, diamond and gold nuggets. They are made all the more appealing by the unique fiber-optic lighting system. In addition to these permanent exhibits- these are generally excellent but a surcharge is added to the admission fee.

The royal museum of Ontario, with restaurant, is open Monday to Saturday from 10 am to 6 pm, until 8 pm Tuesday, and on Sunday from 11 am to 6 pm. Admission is $10 for adults, $5 for seniors and students, and free on Tuesday form 4.30 pm until closing time. Family rates are also offered. The subway is close by (Musium stop),but if you’re driving there is parking on Bedford Rd, west of Avenue Rd north of Bloor St.

A ticket to the ROM also permits free entry to the Gardiner Museum. Visit the museum in Ontario. Do not miss royal museum Ontario. Enjoy the information of royal ontario museum rom.
