Life at a Museum

Life at a Museum covers over thirty years of one man's experience at the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto, the largest museum in Canada. It details many adventures, including collecting trips to the Australian desert and to the eastern high Arctic. From expeditions in the high seas of the Atlantic Ocean, collecting a diverse fauna of fish and diagnosing many species of shark, to building life-size open walkthrough dioramas in the exhibit design department, this book is a fascinating behind-the-scenes look at a rewarding and educational life at the museum.
