This sign can be found along the east-facing wall of the ROM (Royal Ontario Museum) which is where all the bike stands that I have been showing you are located. This lovely 1933 addition to the museum has wonderful carvings and stained glass windows along its length in total contrast to the controversial modern "Crystal" addition. I thought this sign captured one of the aspects of the museum perfectly!

Very attractive sign, RedPat! I think it befits the ROM very well.

Excellent sign, Redpat. I wonder what it is about that font that seems so elegant. Recently I tried to do something using Copperplate, a font that used to be part of the Microsoft Word font selections, and which is a similar traditional all-caps font. It was missing and I was very disappointed, because I wanted that effect.
ReplyDeleteThis Museum is another place I'd love to visit!
ReplyDeleteIts sign is unbeatable, fantastic work! ;-)
it's a beautiful relief.
ReplyDeleteI love that sign and it alone would make me want to visit the Museum.
ReplyDeleteimpressive sign. love it.
ReplyDeleteLove how sculptured the sign appears to be! Like an embossed page! Complements the idea of a museum beautifully!
ReplyDeleteIt looks very classical.
ReplyDeleteIt looks museumish! (if that is even a word! must not be.....it got underlined in red!) It makes me want to rub my hands over it to feel the engraving.
ReplyDeleteNow that is a sign fitting for a museum. Love the details.
ReplyDeleteI like these kind of permanent signs.
ReplyDeleteYou can't put a sign like this onto a Crystal!
ReplyDeleteThat really is lovely.
ReplyDeleteGreat catch Red, looks very Romanish!!( underlined red like Pat's museumish haha!! but you know what I mean!!
ReplyDeleteA good sign. Although I think the entrance prices to the museums in Toronto are outrageous. Probably keeps a lot of people from sharing in the culture.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful sign and design, a sentiment to draw one into the entrance, after parking a bike in the intriguing stands.
ReplyDeleteA wonderful sign that represents what will be seen in the museum.
ReplyDeleteYou are so right, a great sign. We need more of these! I"m still holding out for the vase bike stand too! :)
