Six students show off their tattoo designs on their arms

Launched in September 2016, this exciting space is a principal learning hub at the ROM. Students will respond to the Museum’s collections and research through problem-based learning using digital technologies and arts-based processes.

Our mission is to support students in building personal and exploratory connections to the collections by encouraging innovation, collaboration, creativity, and inclusivity.
