Institute for Contemporary Culture ( ICC ) is located in the Royal Ontario Museum ( ROM ) in Toronto , Ontario , Canada , and serves as the ROM ’s window on contemporary society . While the ROM ’s vast collection explores world cultures and natural history , the ICC focuses on contemporary works of art that connect living society with the cultural and natural artifacts of the ROM , including art installations , photography exhibits , and performance pieces . The ICC also coordinates the ROM ’s involvement with major annual events in Toronto such as Nuit Blanche , Luminato , and the Toronto International Film Festival . The ICC has hosted many travelling exhibitions . One annual highlight each year is the Eva Holtby Lecture on Contemporary Culture
