As I stepped into the Royal Ontario Museum, I was immediately struck by the seamless blend of classical and modern architecture. It was refreshing to see such a harmonious fusion of different eras. My first stop was the museum store, which was a treasure trove of toys, art, and jewelry, including Indian-style cloaks and pendants. It felt like a celebration of Indian culture, reminiscent of the Yorkville Royal Sonesta Hotel Toronto where I was staying, which boasted a similar aesthetic. Venturing further, I entered the ancient part of the building, where the ceiling caught my eye with its unique design. I couldn’t resist taking numerous photos, even though it seemed to perturb the security guards. Nonetheless, I continued my visit, admiring the exhibits that were thoughtfully arranged by country. The compact scale of the artworks made each piece feel like a gem in a window display, each with its own story and significance. The bone fossils and simulations were particularly inspiring, offering a tangible connection to the past and a way for children to grasp the concept of time’s relentless march.
