Royal Ontario Museum was nominated as a Geography and places good article, but it did not meet the good article criteria at the time (August 6, 2019). There are suggestions on the review page for improving the article. If you can improve it, please do; it may then be renominated. |
This page is not a forum for general discussion about Royal Ontario Museum. Any such comments may be removed or refactored. Please limit discussion to improvement of this article. You may wish to ask factual questions about Royal Ontario Museum at the Reference desk. |
This article is written in Canadian English, which has its own spelling conventions (colour, centre, travelled, realize, analyze) and some terms that are used in it may be different or absent from other varieties of English. According to the relevant style guide, this should not be changed without broad consensus. |
Why is there no section on the decision making authorities at the museum and what their compensation is?
Perhaps how often they work and their expense claims too. This should all be public record. I'd love to hear who decided to pay how much for the "Blight on Bloor" as well as where all the Planetarium money went.

...to display the strength and weaknesses of the collections and strongly reflect the French and British cultural heritage of Canada
The displays are split up into sections to display the strength and weaknesses of the collections reflect the French and British cultural heritage of Canada, but honestly I'm still not sure what this is meant to mean – Anne drew 23:48, 31 July 2019 (UTC)

The displays became more descriptive and interpretive...This trend continued and up until the present time...This trend arguably came to a culmination in the 1980s with the opening of The Bat Cave

The overall aim of The Crystal is to provide openness and accessibility, seeking to blur the lines between the threshold linking the public area of the street and the more private area of the museum. I couldn't find a source and honestly it sounds kinda promotional.

The ROM's First People's Gallery is a permanent exhibit on the first floor of the ROM that opened in 2005. From this article, one would assume that First Nations has no independent gallery, but rather is only represented in an exhibit that includes Africa, The Americas, South Asia and South Pacific! I published an article about the First Peoples gallery, so I know there are reliable sources out there. Obviously, I can't cite my own article, otherwise I would fix this issue. The under and mis representation of all four of these non-Western regions exacerbates the imbalance of representation on Wikipedia, and misrepresents the ROM's active policies surrounding collaboration, consultation and representation of Canada's First Peoples. I hope someone unrelated to me can address these issues!
On a related note, I've noticed that several of the articles on Natural History museums include extensive descriptions of "galleries," which may or may not actually be permanent. Galleries are often named after sponsors who have nothing to do with the content of the permanent or temporary exhibits within them. Is the aim of this article organization to capture the view the public will see when visiting? If so, it will constantly need updating. Would it be more useful, or a useful addition, to include descriptions of the collections within their curatorial divisions? This would help researchers identify significant materials, as well as present a more accurate and permanent picture of any museum's overall holdings. Coryannyyz ( talk) 19:20, 16 January 2023 (UTC)
