The City’s building plans that didn’t make the cut, in whole or in part, for better or for worse are chronicled in this exhibit. Featuring 24 illustrations, plans, and photographs, Unbuilt Hamilton gives life to the Hamilton that might have been.
Unbuilt Hamilton presents the “Ambitious City” at its most ambitious, exploring the origins and fates of unrealized building, planning, and transportation proposals from the early nineteenth century to the late twentieth. There was nothing inevitable about the way Hamilton developed. It was the result of choices. They may have been limited by geography, informed by economics, dictated by politics, or influenced by trends and temperament, but things usually came down to some people in a room, deciding what made sense economically, politically or practically.

Free admission to the exhibit
Regular admission rates apply for museum tours

Inspire your toddler’s imagination and sense of discovery as you explore the ROM’s collection of art, history, and nature through the eyes of a child.
Bring your child on an eight-week sensory adventure as you tour galleries with our early learning instructors, and join them in creative play-based activities, and social interaction in a classroom setting. Meet other parents, caregivers, and children and engage your child in interactive learning for life.

For children ages 2 to 4, accompanied by an adult.
Siblings of participants under 2 years old welcome free of charge.

The Gallery’s 25th Anniversary exhibition, Then, Now and Next, is an invitational show featuring six acclaimed Canadian artists, Samantha Dickie, Susan Edgerley, Irene Frolic, Zachari Logan, Audie Murray and Peter Powning. The exhibition celebrates artists at various stages of their careers. Some have a long history with the Gallery; all are making their mark in contemporary ceramics and glass. The exhibition also includes an In Memoriam section, which pulls work from the Gallery’s collection and pays tribute to the makers of ceramic, glass and enamel art that we have lost over the past 25 years.
A significant ceramic work by Tony Urquhart will pay tribute to Jacques Israelievitch, a longtime collector and supporter of ceramic artists.

Children interact with the natural environment through the use of loose parts, creative play, shelter building, whittling wood, cooking on an open fire, knots, making woodland crafts, and sharing stories. This child-led approach to learning is exploratory, inquiry based, fun and unhurried. Sessions are three hours in duration and are recommended for children ages 2½-5 years. The cost is $300 for eight weeks and advance registration is required.
