Josh Basseches is set to leave his role as the director and chief executive of the Royal Ontario Museum (ROM) at the end of the year after a decade of service. Under his leadership, the museum underwent significant changes, including three renovations, an expansion, and the creation of key galleries. Notably, the ROM is Canada's most-visited museum with over 1 million visitors in 2024. Basseches expressed pride in transforming the museum into a cultural hub and looks forward to its future under new leadership.
"It has been an honour to lead this institution through what has been a truly transformative period in its history... there is so much more to come."
"Among the changes at the museum under Basseches was the reopening of the heritage Weston Entrance on Queen's Park... a thriving cultural and civic hub..."
