Friday Nights @ the ROM
Friday, December 8th, 2006
I just found yesterday that the Royal Ontario Museum has a special price on Friday nights (from 4:30pm to 9:30pm). Instead of the regular price of $17, the ticket price is only $5 on Friday afternoon/night. I decided to stop by today and wandered around the 3 floors with plenty of thematic expositions. The $17 are worth it, and the $5 ticket is a complete bargain! Many many things to see. From the rooms I remember, there was art and artifacts from Cyprus, Greece, Africa, Egypt (they had a real mummy with a skeleton), China and others that I can’t remember. There is also some education sections for kids (and adults), mostly about wildlife.
The current temporary exposition is about Italian art. Very nice and with really cool stuff.
By the way, photos without flash are permited in the museum.
It was a really good way of spending two hours and five dollars and I will repeat it soon for sure.

Exactly one year ago, I was making fun of some friends in Portugal because they were complaining about the cold and rain and I was going to work every day wearing just shorts and t-shirt. This was December!… in California!
-8C in the middle of the afternoon and in a Sunny day. My "record" was -13C last Monday, but I’m kind of looking forward to the -20/-30s of January.
