These beautiful carvings are found along Queen's Park on the east wing of the ROM (Royal Ontario Museum) which was opened in 1933 as an addition to the original 1914 building. This side of the building features many carvings, statues, and gargoyles that reflect the collection inside and is in complete contrast to the controversial 2007 "Crystal" addition by Daniel Libeskind.

The stained glass windows, the carvings, the architectural details - oh my!
Nice shot Red! I remember going to the ROM as a kid, many,many years ago.
Details like these are one of my favorite things.
That is amazing!
The carvings are pretty interesting. I'll bet the museum has a guide to what each represents.
The carvings are very much in the style of that epoch. I like the clean flowing lines.
So many details and I like them all!
I love all the detail in buildings like this
