Two mission statements are etched into stone on either side of what was once the main entrance to the Royal Ontario Museum.
On the left, the inscribed text reads as "The Record of Nature Through Countless Ages" and to the right of the entrance the inscribed text reads "The Arts of Man Through All the Years"
From the ROM's website:
"The collections and research are the basis of the Royal Ontario Museum's international reputation. Numbering almost six million objects, the Museum's diverse collections of world cultures and natural history make the ROM one of the largest museums in North America.
The ROM is also the largest field-research institution in Canada with research and conservation activities that span the globe. From fieldwork to onsite laboratory work, Museum staff study artifacts and specimens to further our understanding of the collections and the world."
