THE ROYAL TORONTO MUSEUM - PART 2

I think it is high time for us to have a world class museum in our country. We have interesting history to tell not only the tourists but also the younger generation. Our present National Museum needs to be upgraded. I wonder if the government decides to come up with a multi-million project for a museum, will it be politicized by people.

Anyway, we had to go out of the building as it was about to be closed. I think I need to join the sleepover at the museum programme that the museum has (or is that only for school kids?) then only I can spend more time.

It was yet another educational visit and by now, I have already become the learned one.

THE ROYAL ONTARIO MUSEUM - PART 1

The first must-visit for tourists in Toronto that we went to was the Royal Ontario Museum. It was not free though. Nevertheless, we got the Toronto CityPASS at about $58 for the entrance fees to five venues in the city. There were not too many visitors (which was good) and there was again a huge display of exhibits to be seen in about 3 hours.

the first people exhibition

One interesting section in the museum was the exhibition with the theme of the First Peoples of the First Nations of Canada. The indigenous people of the land have been given the recognition by the Canadian government and knowing that how big the country is, there are different tribes with different interesting cultures who have stayed there since time immemorial.
