ROM Rotunda ceiling

One of my favourite rooms in Toronto is the Rotunda in the Royal Ontario Museum, just inside the old main entrance along University Avenue. In particular is the ceiling, made of more than a million tiny pieces of imported Venetian glass with "patterns and symbols representing cultures throughout the ages and around the world".

I've set up a page with a history, photos, even a link to an audio tour on the ROM Rotunda

Royal Ontario Museum

This is just one of the many photos I've taken at the Royal Ontario Museum (The ROM). The building itself is wonderful, including the 1933 Rotunda and Venetian glass mosaic celiling, and has hosted a wide range of interesting exhibits.

about seemsArtless

This is my long standing photoblog - think Instagram before Instagram. Back in 2004 I bought a Canon digital 10D with a great lens, and thought I'd force myself to take lots of pictures. The site contains more than 1,300 photos, so safe to say I have the quantity part taken care of.

Be sure to say hi if you see me on the street!
