The Royal Ontario Museum (ROM)

 For today's adventure we went to the Royal Ontario Museum or as it is better known as the ROM.  The museum experience starts right as you get off the subway train with sculptures and hieroglyphs.  This is one of my favourite subway stations.



 Here is a photo of the old and new museum.  It looks like the new section called the crystal has crashed landed into the old building.
 Our first stop was to the dinosaur exhibit.  This has been my first stop ever since my very first visit to the ROM as a child.  I really think that dinosaurs bring out the kid in all of us.


 Our next stop was to the bat cave.  Neal was holding my hand through here because even though I know that there are no live bats here the cave freaks me out.  You can hear bat sounds and see fake bats hanging in the ceiling.
 They also have museum workers talking about various animals and answering questions.  Here this woman is talking about owls and birds in general.
 I liked the moose.  I actually saw one on a trip to Newfoundland.  This one was much larger than the one I saw though.
 Here is a mummy in a sarcophagus.  They were explaining that if a mummy is wrapped properly and sealed in a good quality casket, it will preserve what's inside.
 Ya T Rex talk to the hand.  I don't want to hear you grumbling!!!
