Royal Ontario Museum
Pride of place in this large and varied museum is held by the
golden mosaic ceiling inside the main entrance to the building in
Queen’s Park, Toronto. The ceiling is adorned with patterns
and symbols representing cultures from around the world throughout
the ages, and is made from cut squares of imported Venetian
glass. The museum consists of three buildings housing 200,000
square feet (18,581 sq m) of galleries and exhibitions. The more
than 40 galleries showcase art, archaeology and science exhibits.
Among the most popular are dinosaurs, galleries of Chinese Art, a
bat cave, a gem and gold room, exhibits about Ancient Egypt and
Nubia, and the Samuel European Galleries.
