Sketchers, we are heading back to the Royal Ontario Museum to take advantage of their free access to the ground floor that will end at the end of this month. There are lots to sketch on the ground floor, whether your interest is in architecture, artifacts, people, and that large Dino! Please feel free to tag the ROM in your social media posts at @romtoronto, as well as @usktoronto!

Important things to remember:
- ROM ticket required, even for the free access. Tickets may be limited so please sign up beforehand: https://www.rom.on.ca/.../special-programs/free-main-floor
