As a teenager living up in Thornhill back in the 60's, I would walk up to Yonge & Steeles every Saturday morning, take the bus to Eglinton, the subway to Bloor, the street car to the ROM. It was $0.45 cents to get in, I would spend the rest of the day going through every department in the entire place; it's where I learned about life in the realm. I would start in Entomology, they let me in the back room to clean up the collections, I had stuff they didn't; I shared. Then I went to Ornithology to check out the birds. By lunch I got to Egyptology, sat their looking at their exquisite art. Had an incredible time; it costs too much for a young kid to experience that these days.
