This weekend we continued to make good use of our ROM memberships by checking out their Friday Night Live event. Yet another great way to enjoy the museum, this time with live music and alcohol!

The ROM at night
Starting in Spring, the ROM puts off a new Friday Night Live event every Friday for a couple of months, so we decided to pop along to see what it was all about. Turns out, its basically an awesome party in a museum! Featuring live music, DJs, food, drinks and full access to all the exhibits. Each night has its own theme, emphasising certain exhibits in the museum. Friday's theme was Punchline, and focused on some of the old satirical comic strips in the museum's Canada collection.

After breezing through the line ups with our V.I.P ROM memberships and picking up a few "ROM Bucks" for food and drink, we set off exploring the goings on of the museum. Along the way we managed to check out the Asian and natural history exhibits, and were especially interested in the Asian exhibits as we're going to Hong Kong / Taipei / Tokyo this week! We also headed to the Canada wing to see the featured satirist comic strips.

Before heading home, we checked out some more of the entertainment, as well as a preview of a new exhibit on the Dawn of Life - which featured some big, weird prehistoric animals, as well as a few fossils from Newfoundland! Overall, we had a great time and really enjoyed this big museum based party. We will definitely be back.

Just so you know, we're off to Asia for a week so you're going to have to be patient and wait for our next blog post. Rest assured though, it will be a good one.

In the meantime, why not check out what Luke and Elizabeth of the past have been up to. This time last year we were still in Mexico, and back in 2014 we were discovering new trails in Newfoundland.

I need to make it to the ROM this summer. The one time I tried to go on Friday night, the lineup went around the block. Pre-purchasing tickets is definitely necessary!

Definitely! We didn't pre-purchase but we're ROM members (and went fairly early) so we didn't have much of an issue.

This is cool.. I wonder if they did this when I lived there. I wish I had explored more of Toronto like I do other cities I live in. I lived right across the street from the ROM while they built they new addition... time goes by so fast :/

I'm not sure how recent Friday Night Live at the ROM is, but we'd been hearing about it for a while before we finally decided to check it out. It's worth a visit if you're in the city!
