A collaboration between the ROM, the Canadian Museum of Civilization (CMC), and the National Institute of Anthropology and History (INAH), Maya: Secrets of their Ancient World affords visitors a glimpse into the mysterious history of an ancient civilization. Chronicling the daily life of the Maya during the Classic Period ranging from 250 to 900 CE, the exhibit showcases close to 250 artifacts––many freshly excavated––culled from the collections of Mexican museums, the British Museum, and Princeton University Art Museum. Visitors wend past the stoic faces peering from large sculptures, or discover how the Maya lived their lives by perusing cases full of ceramics, jewellery, and ancient magazine covers. The engaging exhibit clears up the 2012 end-of-days rumour started long ago by the misinterpreted Maya calendar and details the enigmatic and complex causes for the collapse of the Maya society centuries ago.
As the clock struck three on the afternoon of March 19, 1914, the Duke of Connaught––the Governor General of Canada––looked out onto a crowd of eager Torontonians assembled in front of him and declared the Royal Ontario Museum officially open to a bout of raucous applause. Since its momentous opening almost a century ago, the historic buff-coloured brick-and-terracotta building––now the west wing of the ROM, thanks to grand expansions in the years following––has seen generations of visitors and their uninvited shadows pass through its elegant halls. Through these expansions and renovations, the ROM has constantly upheld and extended its original vision to engage the public in a dialogue of cultural change while advocating the use of science in the study of nature. This marriage of environmentalism and culture studies has translated into a collection of six million objects and artifacts populating natural-history and world-culture galleries. They also boast a carefully curated assortment of iconic objects, which includes historically significant pieces ranging from Benjamin West’s epic painting The Death of General Wolfe to the world’s largest faceted cerussite mineral.
