ROM Highlights:
- The Michael-Lee Chin Crystal is a stunning new wing opened in June 2007 as part of a ROM renovation project. With hardly a right angle in sight, the crystal's aluminum and glass clad walls jut and soar, creating a dramatic interior and unique perspectives for visitors.
- One of Canada's largest permanent collections of dinosaurs in a spectacular setting
- Chinese temple art that boasts three of the world’s best-preserved temple wall paintings from the Yuan Dynasty
- Hands-on biodiversity gallery
- A bat cave simulation that is creepy but a family favourite
