TORONTO — The Royal Ontario Museum is launching two exhibitions this fall chronicling experiences of the COVID-19 crisis.

On Sept. 18, the Toronto museum will unveil a collection of more than 100 masks made by creators across the globe.

“Unmasking the Pandemic: From Personal Protection to Personal Expression” will include about 40 face coverings made by Canadian artists and designers.

The ROM also plans to present a crowdsourced collection of art that aims to show what the pandemic looks like through a child’s eyes.
