Join musician Jim Payne in our Connections Gallery to hear traditional Newfoundland songs about the creatures that live under the sea. All ages are invited to listen to songs such as "The Squid Jigging Ground" and "Jack Was Every Inch a Sailor". Afterward, visit our hands-on display highlighting the work done by Whale Release and Strandings Newfoundland and Labrador.
Join us for an engaging and in-depth conversation about the Mummers Play, its rich history, cultural significance, and the lasting impact it has had in Newfoundland and beyond.
Whether you're familiar with the tradition or just curious to learn more, this is sure to be an eye-opening discussion!
