Tour
Auks, Wolves and Whales
What fills the void when a species is no more? Legends, folklore, and history worth learning from. Come listen to the stories of the Great Auk, the Newfoundland Wolf, and Endangered Whales as they echo across the ages through their body and bones. Commiserate with the extinct, heed the calls of the endangered, hold ossified bones, and see how artists transform tragedy into hope for a sustainable future.
Tour is approximately 30 – 40 minutes and included in the cost of admission.
Join us for an engaging and in-depth conversation about the Mummers Play, its rich history, cultural significance, and the lasting impact it has had in Newfoundland and beyond.
Whether you're familiar with the tradition or just curious to learn more, this is sure to be an eye-opening discussion!
