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.

Get your thinking caps on, settle in with some hot chocolate from the bar and get ready for some Holiday Trivia! Join us for an evening of questions inspired by the holiday season, history, geography, and culture of the province.

Teams of 2-6 people.
Cash bar available
Prizes!

Finish up your evening with a stroll through the building to check out the decorations on each floor and stop by the giftshop for some last minute shopping!

Cost: $12 plus HST. 10% discount for Rooms. Get your tickets online or by calling 709-757-8090.

The  2025 Mummers Festival features a tradition from Christmas' long past.

Actors, folklorists, dancers, musicians, and community members join forces on "The Spirit of Mummering", a collective project to present the traditional Newfoundland Mummers Play.

Come for the play, learn some traditional Newfoundland dances and enjoy music by local musicians. Join us as we explore a whole other side of Newfoundland Mummering!

This is a free program but a ticket is required. Reserve your seat online or call 709-757-8090.

This program is presented in partnership with the 2025 Mummers Festival. For more information about festival events, visit www.mummersfestival.ca.
