Map of the Royal Ontario Museum area (Toronto )The Royal Ontario Museum (ROM), in the middle of Toronto at Avenue Road and Bloor Street West, was first opened in 1914 and has been a popular destination with tourists and Torontonians ever since. There is something for everyone... the classic Neo-Romanesque building with wonderful mosaic ceilings, the new Michael Lee-Chin Crystal addition, and of course the dinosaurs.
