Royal Ontario Museum is among the world’s leading museums of natural history, and of world cultures. Indeed, in combining a universal museum of cultures with that of natural history, the ROM offers an unusual breadth of experience to visitors and scholars from around the world. It is the ROM’s mission to engage the public in exploration of cultural change and to serve as an advocate for science in the study of nature. Our collections and research serve as the basis for programs ranging from formal student education courses to public debates, lectures, symposia, films, tours, publications, travel and family activities.

The ROM is near completion of a major capital project (Renaissance ROM) that will see the building of 27 new galleries, the liberation of many stranded collections, the addition of valuable public amenities, and the creation of dramatic new architecture in the Michael Lee-Chin Crystal, designed by Daniel Libeskind. This is among the largest capital projects in the history of Canadian cultural institutions, and brings the assets of the museum fully to the public again even as the ROM prepares to celebrate its centenary in 2014.

The Royal Conservatory of Music has a brand new space as well: the TELUS Centre for Performance and Learning, which has at its heart, Koerner Hall. This 1,140-seat, acoustically excellent concert hall will feature performances in all music genres - classical, jazz, pop, opera and world music - as well as film, lectures and educational conferences.

The concert hall's design is based on the classical "shoe box" hall - a tall, rectangular form with a high ceiling and continuous balconies, which are shaped to provide better sightlines. The hall is designed to be a seamless integration of superb acoustics and a distinctive, beautiful interior concept.

Koerner Hall will be acoustically excellent for a range of music. With variable sound absorbing banners it will also work well for amplified jazz, pop and world music. A layered wood veil above the chorus will form a floating ceiling canopy, integrating an acoustic reflector and the performance lighting and technical bridges, while providing a dramatic flourish to the hall.
