Royal Ontario Museum

The Royal Ontario Museum was established in 1912 and officially opened in 1914. It is a comprehensive museum integrating art, world cultures, and natural history, with a total collection numbering in the tens of millions. The building itself is a highlight: the century-old classical facade features exquisite stone carvings, and the "Crystal Palace" new wing, completed as an expansion in 2007 and designed by architect Daniel Libeskind, consists of several tilted, intersecting metal and glass crystals jutting out from beside the old building. The collision of old and new styles has made it a city landmark of Toronto, and the crystal facade and the steps at the entrance are also popular photo spots. Floor layout: For Chinese visitors, the Asian art area on the first floor is worth setting aside plenty of time: the entrance to the Chinese gallery displays the entire tomb of Zu Dashou, a late Ming general, relocated from Beijing, complete with tomb mound, which is quite rare among overseas museums; the Bishop White Gallery of Chinese Temple Art, with the huge Yuan dynasty mural "Paradise of Maitreya" along with Buddhist statues and porcelains from successive dynasties, lays out a complete thread of Chinese art, and the Japanese galleries on both sides are worth a look along the way. In the dinosaur gallery on the second floor, the nearly 24 m long Diplodocus skeleton "Gordo" spans the hall and is one of the museum's signature exhibits, and the nearby mammal and bird specimen areas, the biodiversity gallery, and the bat cave are especially popular with children. The ancient Egypt gallery on the third floor displays sarcophagi and mummies, while the ancient Greece, Rome, and Europe galleries bring together artworks such as sculptures and glassware; the top floor houses rotating special exhibition galleries, so it is worth checking the current schedule before setting out. The museum also has a mineral, gemstone, and meteorite exhibit area and a theater.

This is a historic bridge with beautiful views. It is quite long for a covered bridge and is in a great location. There are lots of photo opportunities so be sure to bring your camera. There is a small area for a picnic, parking, some signs explaining the bridge, and a portable toilet. There is a nice little shop on the other side of the bridge that sells crafts and gifts.
