The Market Gallery
In March 1979, The Market Gallery opened as the official exhibition facility for the display and storage of the City's art and archival collections. The Market Gallery is located on the second floor of the south St. Lawrence Market building. It occupies the site of the civic Council Chamber, the only remaining section of Toronto's original City Hall (1845 to 1899). (courtesy of The Market Gallery) www.stlawrencemarket.com

Royal Ontario Museum
The new James and Louise Temerty Galleries of the Age of Dinosaurs are now open in the Michael Lee-Chin Crystal. Visitors can even catch a glimpse of some of our dinosaurs from the Lee-Chin Crystal windows overlooking Bloor Street West. This gallery, together with the Gallery of the Age of Mammals, occupies the entire 2nd floor of the Lee-Chin Crystal, or 1,450 square metres.
The amazing irregularly-shaped galleries of the Temerty Dinosaur Galleries and the Gallery of the Age of Mammals boast 5.4-metre (18-foot) high ceilings to accommodate the tallest specimens. Sunshine streaming into the gallery creates a warm, light-filled space, perfect for counting all sixty teeth in a T. rex’s mouth.90 feet long with a whip-like tail and 15 tonnes of weight that could crush a car. Yet all it wants for dinner is a juicy plant.
The ROM’s huge Barosaurus skeleton was recently re-discovered in our own vaults. Dating to about 150 million years ago and collected from what is now Dinosaur National Monument, Utah, in the early part of the 20th century, the skeleton was acquired by the ROM in 1962 through a trade with the Carnegie Museum. The pieces were dispersed around the collection room due to various moves, and it was forgotten that all the pieces were from the same animal. ROM curator David Evans re-discovered the specimen after reading some recently published literature referring to the specimen and he traced it back to the ROM’s collection. When all the parts were placed together, the ROM realized it had the better part of a skeleton of a rare, giant dinosaur.
