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.
