While in the ROM in Toronto, Scott and I not only took in the Diamond exhibit, but we also tried to see as much as we could while there. We spent a huge amount of time looking at the world culture portions of the museum and I was incredibly impressed with the amount of artifacts they have. From the assyrians to head shrinking tribes in Africa, we saw so many unbelievable things in remarkably fantastic condition.
I have to confess, seeing the artifacts from ancient Egypt was very special for me. I had been learning about them in Art History and I was very impressed with myself that I was able to identify a few pieces and explain the significance of them to Scott. Like The Palette of Narmer.
Overall though, I think one of my absolute pieces was a bronze statue of Shiva. I�ve always found Shiva an interesting figure in mythology. The enigma that surrounds this character is inspiring and makes me feel.. I�m not sure how to describe it actually.. It�s almost as if I have some sort of connection to Shiva. 
Bonus marks if you spotted me in the reflection of the glass
