The Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto, Ontario

The Royal Ontario Museum is an amazing Toronto treasure.  Cypriot, Roman, African, Egyptian, Middle East, South Asian, European art and artifacts as well as Textiles and Costumes and a Contemporary Culture make up this museum's diverse exhibits.  Currently, the ROM is hosting an exhibit on Mesopotamia.  Other exhibits include Mammals, a Bat Cave, Birds, and Dinosaurs.  There are hands on activities for children in many sections of the museum.

The survivors hope these
 ancestors will look kindly
 on them from the next life.

This carriage from Northern
China was pulled by a horse,
donkey or mule.

It was the standard mode of
overland transportation in
China from the 17th
to early 20th century.



The Royal Ontario Museum is a must see during a visit to Toronto.  With children or other adults, this is an all day excursion into past cultures, the natural world and a look at today's world.
