Vanity Fair Portraits at the ROM in Toronto

Vanity Fair Portraits brings together a star-studded array of almost 150 iconic photographs from both its vintage period and modern periods. The exhibition is divided into two parts, 1913-36, the magazine’s early period, and 1983 to the present. This glamorous photographic history of portraiture features such legends as Madonna, Tom Cruise, Bette Davis, Ernest Hemingway, Louis Armstrong and Cary Grant.
That's for the exhibition, it's really worth the $22 at the entrance and it's on until January 3, 2010. Now as for the baby stuff the ROM is a baby friendly museum. They have strollers that you can borrow (not recommended for infants I would say as they almost are like carts), you can keep your stroller and/or baby carrier all the way and they have elevators to every floor. Washrooms downstairs are equiped with changing stations (not sure they have washrooms on each floor). The cafeteria in the basement is spacious and quiet and Baby can be fed in a peaceful environement.
I would, I guess, recommend weekdays vs weekends. I went there over lunchtime on a Thursday and it was really not busy.
