Looking to kill a few hours while on a business trip to Toronto, I thought I'd check out the ROM. Upon arrival, I had to go through a long back-and-forth weaving through ropes for what would have been a line up, but there wasn't anyone else in line. Staff at the ticket booth weren't particularly welcoming and were more interested... more

The makeover of the ROM is an architectural eyesore of the worst sort. If you are not repulsed by the outside, you have a stronger stomach than this reviewer. Inside, the shapeless, formless galleries look like the substructure of a carpark. If you like your museums to be prisonlike and hostile, then this is the place for you. This is... more

I used to enjoy visiting ROM. That was before they tried to be trendy with their new addition. This new "train wreck" of an building (it looks like scrap metal), misses the point of a museum badly. Whereas ROM once focused on displaying its art, in galleries that were modest and discrete, it has now become a pretentious billboard for... more

Went to the Rom a couple of weeks ago knowing that some major galleries were not open but excited to see the Egyptian gallery. I was really impressed with the medieval areas. The presentation is just wonderful and rich. I especially enjoyed the Gothic art and appreciated the explanatory signs alot. Spent alot of time here. Came to see the... more

I would give it a 5, but they have a lot of renovations going on, which makes things difficult to access, or find altogether. They do have a great map of the place, and offer assistance upon entering. The gift shop is pretty good, but I think they could offer more merchandise. The displays are wonderful-easy to understand, follow. There... more

If you have been to museums in other cities, don't waste your time on this one. We were very disappointed. First, the signage on some of the exhibits is so far down that you have to kneel or bend down to read. 2nd, there is a glare with the glass so some of the signs are difficult to read. 3rd,... more

We visited the ROM as part of our City Pass. Since some of the museum is under construction I'm afraid there wasn't much to interest our three boys under 10. The children's area, while small, is well done. We would definitly go back after the construction is finished. more

A very large museum. It has a lot of wonderful history. You might want to call if going during the week to see if any schools are going to be there. When I went there were about 6 schools that were doing a tour. There were kids and teenagers of all ages. I went through on my own. There is... more

Visited as part of Citypass ticket. Chinese/Egyptian areas very interesting. Dull for children as only a tiny area allowed any interaction and that was only of interest for under 9's. more
