The Royal Ontario Museum Bat Cave (French: La Grotte des chauves-souris) is a gallery at the Royal Ontario Museum that presents wax sculptures of bats in their simulated natural habitat.
[2] It is currently located on the second level, of the Philosopher's Walk Wing in the museums Heritage Building.
[3] In the early 2000s however, the Royal Ontario Museum received a grant to renovate the cave among two new Roman and Byzantine Galleries.
[3][4] Thus updated sound effects, dim lighting, and rock models were incorporated to make the cave appear more realistic.
[5] In addition, guests learn about their current patterns of behaviour and eating habits, among many other things presented in formats on the wall.
