Bees: A Story of Survival at ROM

Step inside the fascinating world of our most vital pollinators with *Bees: A Story of Survival*, a stunning immersive experience currently on at the Royal Ontario Museum (ROM) in Bloor-Yorkville.

Created by National Museums Liverpool in partnership with acclaimed artist and sculptor Wolfgang Buttress, this major exhibition blends cutting-edge science with striking multimedia art. Visitors are invited to explore 120 million years of bee evolution and survival, moving through stylized honeycomb environments, examining rare fossilized specimens encased in amber, and tuning into changing light patterns driven by the actual sounds of over 30,000 bees.

### What to Expect Designed as an evocative feast for the senses, the exhibition highlights the intricate anatomy of individual bees, the complex social mechanics of honey bee colonies, and the urgent ecological threats they face today. Alongside global installations, the ROM has integrated local specimens from its own scientific collections to ground the conversation in our local environment.

### Making a Day of It Located at Queen's Park and Bloor Street, the ROM is surrounded by great neighbourhood spots. Grab a coffee in Yorkville or wander down to nearby Queen's Park before or after your visit. It’s an ideal summer weekend outing for families, art lovers, and science enthusiasts alike.
