About
Welcome to ROM! Whether you want to learn about ancient cultures, modern art, or the wonders of nature, ROM has something for you. This activity guide lets your students focus in on any gallery at ROM, encouraging them to look closer at objects that interest them, and use their imaginations to “remix” an entirely new display.
Students can work on their own or in small groups to complete some or all of the activities. You can download this activity guide as a .pdf, or use the Google Drive link to remix your own version of this activity.
