From The Palace

During the Open Streets TO on Bloor St, this young man in costume was wandering outside the Royal Ontario Museum (ROM)  and posing for pictures with passersby. He was there to publicize the "Forbidden City" show at the museum which displays treasures from the Beijing Palace Museum, many of which have never left China before.
