The Institute for Contemporary Culture (ICC) at the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto, Canada, plays a vital role in a museum whose collections embrace many civilizations and eras, as well as the record of nature through countless ages.

The ICC is the ROM’s window on contemporary society. It provides a unique forum where the new encounters the depth and context of the ROM’s historical and anthropological collections. By doing so, the ICC explores both the continuity and discontinuity of cultures – their relationships across space and time, to each other and to the natural world.

As a program highlight each year, the Eva Holtby Lecture on Contemporary Culture will bring powerful voices to Toronto to discuss cultural change; each lecture will include a lively discussion illustrating the diversity of views relating to its varied and provocative topics.  In this, and many other ways, the ICC will serve as a catalyst for public conversations.
