What is the nature of your project?
Please explain how you plan to use the image or footage of the Royal Ontario Museum (ROM).
Where and when will the ROM’s footage/image(s) appear?
Will editorial content and/or recognition for the ROM be published with the images or accompany the footage? Please explain.
Where in the ROM do you propose to film/shoot (Please list name of gallery or space)?
What are your proposed filming/photography dates?
What is the estimated time required?
Please list the equipment to be used.
Please indicate crew size and provide all names and roles.
Do you require a ROM spokesperson or expert? If so, please elaborate.

Please Note:
The visitor experience is paramount and as such, the ROM will not close off an exhibit or gallery to comply with filming/photography. All cables must be secured with cable trays (NOT tape) and we prohibit any close-up photography or filming of Museum visitors. Published images of the ROM or footage must be accompanied by appropriate credit lines. All filmings and photoshoots using tripods must be accompanied at all times by a member of the ROM’s Communications Department. As such, the vast majority of these projects are only scheduled on weekdays, during business hours. Projects requiring less filming time will also be given precedence.

If photography or filming is not deemed promotional to the Museum, you will be directed to the appropriate ROM department to discuss the rental of space.

As a general rule, we are unable to offer parking at the ROM. Drop off or pick up of equipment in the loading dock on the south side of the building can be requested in advance, but can only be guaranteed upon arrival. Please be advised that paid parking is available near the ROM on Bedford Road, Yorkville Avenue and Cumberland Street.
