Reception
What comes to mind when you think of home? Regardless of where we are from, everyone has a different story to tell.
AT HOME: TOO FAR, TOO CLOSE is an exhibition of fourteen stories from fourteen people who have immigrated to Newfoundland and Labrador from around the world and chose here as their home. Their stories are told through photographs and objects.
Join us for an opening reception. This evening includes access to the exhibition, a cash bar, light refreshments, and live music.
An exhibition presented for Come Home Year. Presented in partnership with The Association for New Canadians.
This is a free event. Masks are encouraged.

Today's Events & Programs
Winter may be here, but there’s no need to stay home!
Join us at The Rooms to exercise and socialize during this colder and drearier time of year. While strolling throughout the building and enjoying both the exhibitions and the views, participants will focus on a different spotlight item from our collection each week. After our stroll, staff will lead a brief discussion on the weekly spotlight, and then everyone is encouraged to stay and socialize with friends new and old.
Following the Senior's Stroll, we will open our art gallery classroom for a guided art activity. All materials are provided, and everyone is welcome to attend.
No registration is needed. Included with the cost of admission ($7.80 plus HST for seniors), free for members.
