ROM Video
Nature comes to life in the Schad Gallery of Biodiversity. Travel across seven ecosystems; see the rare white rhino and a live coral reef. Explore the Earth Rangers Studio with its immersive, multimedia and live animal shows. This new gallery will present the diversity of life on earth and the significant challenges to its conservation and survival.
James and Louise Temerty Galleries of the Age of Dinosaurs
The Michael Lee-Chin Crystal addition to the Royal Ontario Museum angles over the sidewalk of Toronto’s tony Bloor Street. Its 18-foot ceiling accommodates Gordo the Barosaurus, the largest dinosaur on display in Canada.
At its pinnacle, in-the-know visitors and Toronto’s hip and haute gather in the museum’s c5 Restaurant Lounge – for its five-star menu and to see and be seen.
The Age of Mammals
Ice Age mammals succeeded dinosaurs – which led to the amazing biodiversity of life on Earth.
On display are more than 400 impressive and unusual North and South American specimens. There are 30 extinct mammal fossil skeletons and 166 non-mammalian specimens, from the Cenozoic Era (65 million years ago to the present).
You’ll also get to see hundreds of fossils representing plants, insects, corals and fish.
Chinese Sculpture
The first floor is an Asian treasure trove. Walk among impressive large sculptures in stone, bronze, iron ceramic and wood. The works in this gallery span 2,000 years of Chinese sculptural art.
Egyptian History
The Egyptian area of Galleries of Africa feature mummies, magnificent jewelry, funerary furnishings, agricultural tools, and pottery. There are also two video kiosks that explain pyramids and hieroglyphics.
First Peoples of Canada
More than 1,000 diverse artifacts provide a cultural context for Canada’s earliest societies. They reveal the economic and social forces that influenced Native Canadian art.
Many of the artifacts are on display for the first time.
Bat Cave
The original Bat Cave was opened in 1988, created to mirror Jamaica’s St. Clair Cave. The new Bat Cave – bigger, better, scarier – draws on that research and more recent visits to St. Clair Cave.
There are more bats, animatronics and effects. Kids will love discovering the real stories of mysterious flying creatures.
Highlights include a show about bats navigate by echolocation, how caves are formed, and the drama of their nightly search for food.
Biodiversity is a Core Theme
Explore the world’s biodiversity – all its living things – and all the factors that affect survival.
Three core themes are used to explain biodiversity: the number and variety of species on Earth; life is so interconnected that when one form of life is affected, the entire ecosystem is affected; and how human activities put “the web of life” in peril.
c5 Restaurant Lounge
Located at the pinnacle of the Michael Lee-Chin Crystal, is a unique dining destination that provides superlative gastronomic experiences and a sophisticated lounge environment.
The lounge at c5 is the most chic location in the city to unwind. Soft leather lounge seating and original glass art installations set the mood for intimate social gatherings and private parties. Cocktails are served in signature c5 barware, alongside small seasonal plates to sate a cocktail hour or late night appetite.
ROM Museum Store
Shop to your heart’s content at our flagship ROM Museum Store in the heart of the Bloor-Yorkville retail district.

Sitting Still: Faces of Childhood
Until Spring 2012
An unsentimental look at sentimental portraits from the ROM's 19th century Canadian collection.

Florence Louisa Nelles. Delos Cline Bell (Canadian, 1829 - 1918) Oil on canvas, c. 1863.
Elegy: Deborah Samuel
Until July 2, 2012
In Elegy, Canadian photo-based artist Deborah Samuel explores life’s fragility, its transience and its persistence. Her poetic images illustrate how the rigid bones or shell of a creature continue to suggest its vanished outer form long after flesh and spirit have moved on. The exhibition features 33 photographs, ten of which are of ROM specimens.

Toronto Pass - Well Worth It
posted by Ross on May-15-2012
I used the Toronto City Pass to take in the major sites of Toronto and felt the value and discount received to see the various sites was well worth it. Casa Loma, the CN Tower and the ROM were most certainly highlights. I would highly recommend using the pass if you have a few days in Toronto to see the sights. Ride the Rocket(the TTC) as recommended if you get the chance.

Great value and encouraged the adventure of tackling the transport system to get to all venues. Very well assisted by TTC personnel and the ease of use really good. Well done Toronto for providing such a great package. Visited all venues on the pass and each and every one was a wonderful enriching experience. Thank you. Visiting from Melbourne, Australia.
Fantastic Value!!

When it comes to having a couple of kids with you the CityPASS came in handy for value. The PASS saved my wife and I a fair bit, and the ease of going through lines helps when you have impatient kids. We highly recommend the Pass even if you're by yourself or with the family, you can't go wrong with saving money and time.
Toronto CityPASS
posted by MM on May-13-2012
A couple of friends and I stayed in Toronto for four days and the CityPASS was great! We were able to make it to the CN Tower, the ROM, Casa Loma, and the Toronto Zoo; however, we didn't have enough time to go to the Science Centre. Great deal, great way to see the city. Wish the pass included transit passes.
