Coffee & Culture
Since the Coronavirus prevented St. John's Storytelling from planning an in-person festival, they put together a podcast as a way to celebrate storytelling in the midst of catastrophe. Join Mav Adecer and Dave Paddon as they share stories of Home Out Of It, inspired by The Decameron, a set of stories from the 1300s that wove individual narratives of people fleeing The Plague.

Events & Programs
Being Present: The Architecture of The Rooms
The Rooms is a space where architecture and history meet, inspired by traditional fishing rooms that once brought communities together. Its design reflects the province’s stories—anchored in place, open to change—with each wing symbolically facing land, people, and sea.
Natural materials and bold colors evoke Newfoundland and Labrador’s landscape and spirit. Light, reflection, and shifting perspectives make the building feel alive, adapting with time and weather. This is more than a building—it’s a gathering place for memory, creativity, and connection.
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.
