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.
Shirley Moorhouse – EYES
Join us for a guided tour of Shirley Moorhouse's exhibition - EYES, which features her innovative artworks spanning 30 years. Moorhouse is a respected member of the Canadian art community and renowned for her textiles-based wall hangings. Using embroidery, beading, caribou hide, and other objects on black wool stroud, Moorhouse tells stories and delves deeply into complex themes, inviting viewers "to reflect, to dream, and to celebrate the beauties and mysteries of life".
