About Royal Ontario Museum
The Royal Ontario Museum (ROM) is one of North America’s largest museums, combining natural history with art and cultural artifacts. Its galleries include spectacular dinosaur skeletons, ancient Egyptian artifacts, expansive Asian collections and rotating special exhibitions. The building itself is notable for the modern Michael Lee-Chin Crystal addition contrasted with the original façade. Plan several hours to explore; audio guides, family activities and temporary exhibitions add depth to visits, making ROM a full‑day cultural stop.
