On a tour exclusively curated for U of T alumni, over 200 alumni families met almost 400 spiders – both live and preserved. They found out why spiders aren’t that scary and what awesome things they can do. Their up-close and personal day with creepy-crawlies included:

• A special arachnid talk with Doug Currie, U of T biology professor and curator of the ROM exhibit, “Spiders: Fear & Fascination”
• Small-group, guided tours of the exhibit
• A web-weaving activity
• A build-your-own spider activity
