The Royal Ontario Museum (ROM) hosts 'Crawford Lake Layers in Time,' an illuminating exhibition highlighting how a quiet lake near Milton, Ontario, became ground zero for understanding human impact on Earth. Sediment layers from the bottom of Crawford Lake have provided scientists with a comprehensive, millennium-long archive of environmental changes.
Inside the Exhibition
Visitors can explore how local, regional, and global history is preserved in the earth's natural records. Through engaging multimedia displays, artifacts, and scientific insights, the exhibition bridges deep-time history with urgent modern environmental conversations.
Visiting the ROM
Situated at Queen's Park in the heart of downtown Toronto, the ROM is easily accessible via the University subway line (Museum Station). Take some time to explore the museum's broader galleries or grab a bite in the vibrant Annex neighbourhood just steps away.
