Why you should go…

The ROM opened in 1914 and now holds over six million objects and specimens across natural history and world cultures. The angular Michael Lee-Chin Crystal addition, opened in 2007, has become a landmark in its own right on Bloor Street. Dinosaur skeletons and the Bat Cave are longtime visitor favorites.
