The Royal Ontario Museum
(ROM), the ROM and the Canadian Museum of Civilization (CMC) have announced that the
two institutions will host Maya: Secrets of their Ancient World, a remarkable exhibition
highlighting the ancient Mesoamerican civilization’s Classic Period (250 to 900 AD) and its
notable achievements. As visitors journey into the heart of a great Maya city, many of the
mysteries surrounding the Maya are examined and their secrets revealed. In collaboration
with Mexico’s National Institute of Anthropology and History (INAH), the ROM and the CMC
bring together a collection of artifacts, many never-before-seen in Canada, to illuminate the
relationships between the Maya civilization’s ruling class and the balance of its society. The
exhibition premieres at the ROM from Saturday, November 19, 2011 to Monday, April 9,
2012 prior to traveling to the CMC from May 18 to October 28, 2012.
Location: Royal Ontario Museum -- 100 Queen's Park (Avenue Rd. and Bloor St. West)
