Entering its final week at the Royal Ontario Museum is the major showcase
Maya: Secrets of Their Ancient World. This groundbreaking exhibition features 250 artifacts that take visitors on a remarkable journey through the history, art, and puzzling collapse of the Maya civilization. A collaborative effort between the ROM, Mexico's National Institute of Anthropology and History and the Canadian Museum of Civilization, this exhibition explores the entire world of the Maya, from the rule of kings and queens to the lives of everyday people.
