ROM Redux explores one of the most extensive heritage restoration projects in the country at the Royal Ontario Museum. The exciting beginning of this transformation is the ambitious expansion of the museum's renowned Asian collections. Of the world's great civilizations, few can compare to China, Korea, and Japan. They have endured for thousands of years and continue to inspire wonder and awe.

Now audiences get a behind-the-scenes look at the ROM's East Asian galleries. ROM Redux takes us on a historical journey of adventure, delving into the remarkable legacies of some of the exhibits' most exciting and prominent artifacts and bringing them to life. In the China episode, we look into the mystery of who was buried in the famous Ming Tomb. In Japan, we are immersed in the story of the tea ceremony, the Grand Tea Master who donated North America's most complete tea master's set, and his family who keeps his legacy alive. In Korea, we explore a set of Shamanistic painting that were saved from destruction from the first Canadian missionary to Korea. Each episode takes the viewer on a journey of the museum that spans its history and unites the past with the present.
