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.
No registration is needed. Included with the cost of admission ($7.80 plus HST for seniors), free for members.

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 Newfoundland and Labrador icon Andy Jones for a magical evening celebrating his adaptation of the beloved folktale Peg Bearskin.
Based on rich folklore from Placentia Bay, Andy will share captivating readings from the book, delve into the origins of this timeless tale, and showcase the stunning “bearskin” edition of this classic story.
Adding to the enchantment, violinist/fiddler Christina Smith, will weave melodies throughout the evening, creating an unforgettable atmosphere.
This promises to be a night filled with laughter, lore, and a deep love for all things Newfoundland and Labrador.
Tickets: $20 plus HST. 10% discount for Rooms members. Get your tickets online or by calling 709-757-8090.
