The best of non-profit advertising and marketing for social causes

ROM at 100 (1914 - 2014)

Posted by Claire Kerr | 19-03-2013 18:22 | Category: Culture

Canada’s Royal Ontario Museum, affectionately known as “ROM”, will celebrate its centenary year in 2014.

To kick off community celebrations, the museum cracked open its considerable photo archive to create this video collage mixing the vibrant ROM we know now, with the historical ROM we knew then.

Visitors are invited to share their stories and images of the museum at ROM reCollects.

“Share with us your fondest memories, funniest stories or most memorable moments. (Here’s a special callout to Summer Camp participants over the past 70-plus years: we’re hoping to compile a special tribute to this longstanding family tradition!) And watch our website for ongoing updates to what is sure to be a fun and nostalgic stroll through our history.”

In addition to the ROM 100 launch, the museum also revealed its new logo today. Not everyone is a fan.
