Added by Alain Martineau
General Description : Stamp from the souvenir sheet
The Official First Day Cover (OFDC) Toronto, Ontario, Canada
The stamps’ photographs were taken by ROM photographer Brian Boyle and the photo of the Michael Lee-Chin Crystal was taken by Tom Arban Photography Inc.
To mark the Royal Ontario Museum’s Centennial, Canada Post issued two new commemorative stamps featuring images of iconic objects from the Museum’s world-renowned collection.
The stamps feature carefully curated photographs of five of the ROM’s most notable objects including Shiva Natajara Sculpture, Mummified Cat, Hadrasaur Skeleton, Luohan Chinese Sculpture and the Bison. The artefacts represent the vastness of the ROM’s encyclopedic collection which includes more than six million objects while the ROM’s Michael Lee-Chin Crystal featured on the stamp booklet cover and the background of the stamp represents the ROM’s continuing research and visionary future.
Canada’s “Indiana Jones” – Charles T. Currelly – helped found the Royal Ontario Museum, which opened its doors in 1914. A century later, the ROM has become a globally respected exhibition of world cultures and natural history.
With its mummified cat, moustached bat and the museum’s most famous dinosaur, this souvenir sheet makes a fantastic gift and keepsake for young museum lovers.
