Members Tour
A curatorial tour of our newest exhibition RAE PERLIN: WHATEVER
I WANTED WAS OUT THERE, IN THE WORLD, SOMEWHERE with exhibition
curator Mireille Eagan.
Rae Perlin (b. St. John’s, 1910-2006) compulsively recorded her
surroundings in sketchbooks and on scraps of paper as she travelled the
world. This survey of her prolific career places Perlin’s works in conversation
with artists such as Jean-Paul Riopelle, Maurice Cullen and many others.a
This tour is available to members only.

Fishing for Cod
For centuries, fishing for cod has played a vital role in the lives of the peoples of Newfoundland and Labrador. Generations of fishing men, women, and children made use of the land and sea to sustain them and spent their lives “making fish.”
Join us each day for an interpretive guided tour in one of our galleries. From the story of the cod fishery to visiting a current art exhibition to a Family Rainbow Tour, there is something for everyone.
Each tour is approximately 30–40 minutes and is included in the cost of admission. Free for Rooms members.
Join architects Philip Pratt, Charles Henley, and Paul Blackwood of PHB Group for an insightful and engaging conversation about the design journey behind The Rooms. Perched above St. John's, this architectural landmark—clad in local granite and wood, brushed aluminum, and sweeping glass—offers a stunning presence and panoramic views of the city and harbour below.
This is a rare opportunity to hear directly from the minds behind the building’s bold and thoughtful design. Learn how vision, place, and materials came together to shape an enduring cultural icon.
Cost: $15 plus HST. 10% discount for Rooms members. Get your tickets online or by calling (709) 757-8090.
