Wearing a face mask inside the Museum is no longer required, however ROM encourages all visitors who wish to wear a face mask to continue to do so. We ask visitors to postpone their visit should they be feeling unwell. For more information on what you need to know before visiting the museum, please access the Visitor Guide.
