Ancient Worlds Spark New Ways to Support the ROM

"We'll be reaching out soon to our donors, patrons, and members with some exciting plans for the ROM's centennial in 2014. We hope you will support our campaign and show your love for the ROM." 

Mesopotamia, opening in June at the ROM, will offer visitors a thought-provoking look at a long-lost world that is surprisingly connected to our modern lives. Young Patrons Circle (YPC) and Royal Patrons Circle (RPC) members will enjoy an exclusive sneak peek at this highly anticipated blockbuster exhibition at a special Patrons Preview on June 19, 2013.

In celebration of Mesopotamia, this year’s annual PROM fundraiser on April 6, 2013, is a contemporary party inspired by past civilizations. In addition to shining a spotlight on our curatorial talent and collections in these areas, this year’s creative theme offers a great opportunity to showcase YPC’s fantastic support of Mesopotamia as an Exhibit Patron. Special thanks to the many generous sponsors, partners and volunteers who help make this event one of the most successful and sought-after in the city.

Launching later this year, ROM Ancient Cultures will be one of the Museum’s future Centres of Discovery, helping us make sense of how past societies inform our lives. There are many exceptional philanthropic investment opportunities in ROM Ancient Cultures, including the chance to endow a Chair in Canadian Archaeology—the first of its kind—to study the cultural history of Canada. Donors can also support a leading lecture series that will host world-renowned speakers at the ROM and contribute to an essential Research Discovery Fund and Collections Digitization Fund for ROM Ancient Cultures.
