Toronto Star

For as long as anyone can remember, the Royal Ontario Museum and the University of Toronto have shared the same piece of hallowed turf, tightly nestled between Queen's Park Ave. and Philosopher's Walk. This precinct has survived as a theme park of Victorian architecture and an otherworldly oasis that offers a respite from midtown urban blight. If you were looking for a word to describe the hushed atmosphere, "peaceful" would spring to your lips. And here, as far as the outside world could tell, the ROM and the U of T played nicely together and got along.
