Fall Winter 2024

New vision for a new season ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌...

Darwin Day, Lunar New Year and more - February with ROM at Home

In accordance with the Ontario Chief Medical Officer of Health, the ROM is temporarily closed to the public, effective November 23.

The health and safety of our staff, volunteers and visitors remains our top priority. We will continue to follow the recommendations of our public health officials and look forward to opening our doors again once it is safe and responsible to do so.
ROM at Home opens the doors to the Museum with programming - live discussions, topical Q&As, descriptive audio experiences, and behind-the-scenes videos from ROM curators and experts - all accessible through our website and social media channels.

This month, we look at how mass movements have shaped the course of history and are changing the world as we know it today. We explore the notion of borders, boundaries, and belonging, going behind the headlines to discover the powerful influence of migration on everyday life.
