…thanks to the Ragtag community for hosting RDP https://ragtagcommunity.wordpress.com/2023/03/08/rdp-wednesday-museum/

I love museums. How could I not, when I have a son who is a curator at the Victoria and Albert in London, England and I am a volunteer at Montgomery’s Inn, one of Toronto’s Historical Museums.

We have have numerous museums in Toronto, the most famous being the ROM (Royal Ontario Museum). My husband and I have been members for years and love taking friends from out of town and in town to the museum as our guests.

….combining Thursday Trios with Xingfu Mama’s Pull Up a Seat Challenge https://xingfumama.blog/2022/03/25/pull-up-a-seat-photo-challenge-2022-week-12/

On the weekend we took our granddaughter to the museum. We saw lots of wonderful exhibits and I think Winnie’s favourite was the ancient Egypt exhibit with the mummies. Not only did I see lots of interesting trios but there was a chair exhibit as well.

….thanks to Becky B for hosting Past Squares, https://beckybofwinchester.com/2021/10/17/past-squares-17/

Two iconic roof tops in Toronto are both on museums. The first one is an addition to the oldest museum in the city, the ROM and the second one is on one of Toronto’s newest museums, the Aga Khan Museum.

I’m a Fan of….#33….the ROM

….thanks to Jez for hosting Fan of Challenge

The ROM is the Royal Ontario Museum located in downtown Toronto. I’ve been a member for several years and whenever I’m in the area I like to drop in and see what’s new. Recently I went to to see the Treasures of a Desert Kingdom.

Amassed over the course of nearly four centuries, these treasures reflect the history and artistic legacy of the Rathore dynasty, one of the longest continuous royal lineages in the world, that ruled this desert kingdom until India’s independence in 1947. (Copied from the ROM website)

Unfortunately the show ended September 2. I was hoping to return and spend more time in the gallery.
