The Royal Ontario Museum Comes to Delmanor Northtown

The seniors from Delmanor Northtown were treated to a special presentation from the Royal Ontario Museum.

In its premiere North American engagement, R.O.M staff introduced the seniors to the unique exhibit from the British Museum that focused on excavations from the 19th and 20th centuries in Sumer, Assyria and Babylon.




The term Mesopotamia comes from the Greek language meaning "land between two rivers".  Representatives from the R.O.M shared beautiful images and stories behind the amazing archeological finds. 



This rare opportunity at the R.O.M portrays 170 exceptional artifacts gathered at the museum for the first time.  The Delmanor residents were thrilled when some of the amazing artifacts were presented to them in person to hold and enjoy.  This small taste of the R.O.M's Mesopotamia exhibit sparked interest for the seniors to take a trip to see the complete exhibition.
