Royal Ontario Museum

Toronto, Canada
4.8 / 103
royal-ontario-museum
The museum is located in an unusual and original building of modern architecture. Outwardly, this structure resembles an orderly pile of geometric figures or a huge crystal with irregular edges. The walls of the museum shine with a cold shine of gray metal and glass. The Royal Museum houses more than 6 million exhibits: dinosaur bones, art objects, weapons, clothing, household items and much more.
