Royal Ontario Museum

This is well worth the invested time for viewing inspirational works.


I am going to try to make it. I have always been fond of the ROM; I'm a
museum junkie.

Also had a chance to visit Curry's art store in downtown Toronto
recently - their link is now on the page... They have a lot of stuff
that may be of interest to woodworkers -- some very hard to find stuff.


Curry's is an institution. A landmark. I have many things from there
that I use in woodworking. Measuring/marking devices etc.
I could walk in and if I had a free $5K, I could spend it there in 10
mins. (Loomis & Tooles on the Queensway is cheaper, but I don't expect
somebody from the 'other' end of Young Street to know that..LOL)
Not to mention thousands upon thousands of different colour magic
markers. ( I said not to mention it!!!) Those are great for the right
colour touch-ups on delicate items.
Their font files are expensive, but their foundries are first class.
I still buy the odd sheet of Letraset® for displays.
And all that incredible water colour paper!
