Royal Ontario Museum

The ambitious redevelopment of the ROM is one of the world's largest museum restoration and expansion projects. Through the restoration of the original heritage architecture and the construction of a new landmark building, all designed by Daniel Libeskind, and elegant new exhibit designs by Haley Sharpe Design, the Renaissance ROM project will create a spectacular new experience of our collections. The ROM is defined as much by its diverse collections of world cultures and natural history as by the international research that supports them. It follows that the new ROM galleries will be object-rich, supported by unobtrusive interpretive aids. We shall put all our major collections on permanent display for the first time ever and improve visitor orientation and circulation. Greater intimacy between the visitor and objects will reveal the context and meaning of objects.
