On Tuesday 30 funny thing happened to us. We were at an intersection near the school, eating a hot dog, when suddenly he stops in front of us a woman in a van, and tells us to get closer. Mexico obviously know we should not approach strangers, lol, but as we are in Canada because I decided to see what he wanted, and gave me some free passes to go to some places (just like in Mexico).
The point is that the passes would expire that day and as surely she would not be able to use, it gave better. There were three, but the only one caught my eye was for the Royal Ontario Museum (or ROM). I already had going, and now with the pass that we could get both for free and take advantage of we went.
Entry normally costs 22 CAD per person, so we saved a good yarn. Only 6 CAD who are paid extra to have access to a special exhibition of the Dead Sea Scrolls. Supposedly is the first time you leave to go abroad to be exhibited publicly, so I had to seize the opportunity.
The exhibition consists of various relics found in the caves where the scrolls were and some of the cylinders in which they were stored. Of course, there were several fragments of the scrolls, which were really well preserved to have almost 2 thousand years. I read that brought in several planes, because they could not risk to lose them to go together in the event of an accident, lol, something like the urban legend of the Coca Cola formula.
After that we went to the part of Asian cultures where several murals and paintings in China, Japan and several things, including some samurai armor and katanas.
The second floor has a display of minerals, complete with jewelry made of precious stones (emeralds, rubies, sapphires, etc).
Then we turn to the natural history, where they have many figures of all kinds of animals, real size. Of course, we could not miss the dinosaurs, which is always what strikes me most attention. They have many skeletons, most are recreations, also in real size, but some do have one other bone of truth.
Unfortunately for when we finished Hence it was too late, we arrived at the museum and at 4 and when we see the dinosaurs were already 7:30, so I did not give us time to climb to the third floor, where are the world's cultures, including the room Egyptian sarcophagi with everything related to their funeral rites.
The good news is that Wednesdays from 5 to 6 PM I think the entrance is free, so find out well and will return to see what I missed.
