The University of Toronto and Royal Ontario Museum

Royal Ontario Museum: It certainly has the requisite cultural credentials to make it a destination for wine-sipping, art-loving, book-reading downtowners, sometimes known as elitists, according to The Star. Across the street theres the Royal Ontario Museum, also hard to miss, given that its studded with an addition thats either crystalline or carbuncular, depending on your point of view and Bookended by Yorkvilles glitz and the corridor of power and prestige that flows from the University of Toronto, the corner of Bloor St. and Avenue Rd. may well be the metaphorical, if not geographical, centre of the city. On the southeast corner sits the Gardiner Museum. You cant miss it, even if it is slightly hidden by a ponderous stone building that once served according to the quaint inscription above the entrance as U of Ts Department of Household Sciences.
