Making Sense of Our World
Life is complex, and understanding the fast-changing world we live in is more difficult than ever. Simply providing more information is not the answer. We are already overwhelmed by a constant barrage of facts and opinion. (And it is getting harder to tell the difference between the two.)
That’s why we are creating the Royal Ontario Museum’s new Centres of Discovery, an innovative approach to creating a museum experience responsive to you and your interests. The Centres are designed to provide easy access to the information you seek.
Each Centre will focus on one of eight themes central to an understanding of our world.
