“3rd Monday Nights Free furthers the ROM’s commitment to provide greater access and open the doors of the Museum to as many visitors as possible,” the ROM wrote in its release.

The ROM will also be opening up spaces for non-profit groups and ROM Community Access Network (ROMCAN) partners at a reduced rate to allow access to those who might not otherwise have access to the museum’s facilities.
