Royal Ontario Museum
"Immortal"
Broken Heart Love Affair
To attract visitors after the lifting of pandemic restrictions and to make people feel more represented and welcome, the Royal Ontario Museum created “Immortal,” a six-minute film driving home the message that the stories behind every historical object help
make sense of the present.

The film, by Broken Heart Love Affair, depicts key moments in human history, from glorious and inspiring to evil and destructive. A baby floats in the ocean, representing Mother Nature’s womb, and is surrounded by symbolic re-enactments of collective
and individual experiences.

As a result of this campaign, attendance from those aged 18 to 24 increased by 60%, media impressions totaled 127 million, ticket booking page traffic increased by 85%, website traffic increased by 42%, and general attendance increased by 65%.
