Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks, receives; and the one who seeks, finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened. (Mt. 7:7-8)

The Royal Ontario Museum opened in 1914, in close association with the neighbouring University of Toronto (who managed it until 1968). That first phase accommodated five distinct museums of geology, mineralogy, palaeontology, archaeology and zoology, but subsequent developments have made the ROM into the largest and most-visited museum in Canada, also covering art, world culture and natural history. As Canada's largest field-research institution, it has global impact.
This splendid ceiling is that of the Rotunda, which opened in 1933 as the Museum's new main entrance, from Queen's Park. The mosaic is composed of gold-backed glass tiles, with coloured geometric patterns framing depictions of buildings and animals, both real and mythical.
Designed by Alfred H. Chapman and James Oxley, the new eastern wing adopted a neo-Byzantine style as a conscious evolution from the Roman-inspired Italianate original wing.
From 2002, a massive renovation and expansion project added an ultramodern entrance and new galleries on the Bloor Street side of the building, with Canada's largest ever heritage project restoring the 1914 and 1933 wings, reopening blocked windows and re-emphasising the original architecture. However, it removed this room's context, and it felt odd to encounter it deep within the gallery complex.
I'm intensely curious how and why these chairs were brought into the nature preserve. I especially wonder what the squirrels think of them.
I love kids! I am taking developmental psychology this term...and I want to have my own baby already!

London Coliseum. Frank Matcham's masterpiece, the London Coliseum, opened on Xmas Eve 1904 as a vast Music Hall for Stoll Theatres. Initially it had a capacity of 3,389, now reduced to a more comfortable 2,360, split over four levels. The style is Roman and is unusually lavish throughout, above the side boxes on either side of the stage is a large statue of a Charioteer drawn by three lions. The theatre was the first in Euope to have lifts to every floor, and also, together with Selfridges, the first place in London to sell Coca Cola. From 1961 to 1968 it became a cinema with a vast cinerama screen installed. It reverted to live shows when Sadlers Wells Opera (later English National Opera) took over in 1968. Between 2000 and 2004 it was meticulously restored. It is an outstandingly important theatre in London and is grade 2* listed.

Open up the dirty window
Let the sun illuminate the words
That you could not find
Reaching for something in the distance
So close you can almost taste it
Release your innovation
Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins
The rest is still unwritten, !!
