Where World History Meets Modern Toronto
Located in the heart of downtown Toronto, the Royal Ontario Museum (ROM) is one of Canada’s most celebrated cultural institutions and the largest museum of its kind in the country. Since opening in 1914, the ROM has grown into a world-renowned destination featuring over 18 million objects across art, world cultures, and natural history. Its dramatic Michael Lee-Chin Crystal addition, designed by Daniel Libeskind, makes the ROM one of the city’s most iconic architectural landmarks.
Spanning 40 galleries and exhibition spaces, the ROM offers unforgettable encounters with dinosaur fossils, ancient civilizations, rare gems, and Indigenous artifacts. Today, it stands as both a premier research institution and a must-visit attraction for locals and visitors alike.

A Rich History of Cultural Discovery
The Royal Ontario Museum was founded in 1912 and opened to the public in 1914 with galleries devoted to archaeology, mineralogy, paleontology, and zoology. As Toronto grew, the museum expanded with the East Wing in 1933 and the Curatorial Centre in 1984, adding space for new collections and research.
Its most recognizable transformation came in 2007 with the opening of the Michael Lee-Chin Crystal, a bold architectural addition that redefined its presence on Bloor Street. Today, the ROM continues to evolve as one of North America’s leading museums, blending history, culture, and innovation in every visit.
