Seniors Stroll at The Rooms

- 2:30 pm
Where: Everywhere
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 exhibits and the views, participants may focus on a different theme from our collection each week. After our stroll, staff will lead a brief discussion on the weekly theme, 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.
Please wear or bring appropriate shoes.

Events & Programs
To celebrate International Archaeology Day, please join renowned flint knapping expert Tim Rast as he demonstrates how to create tools from stone. Learn how much skill is required to work with materials like stone, bone, and antlers.
Tim is responsible for many of the stone and wood tool replicas used around our province in museums and educational displays.
This is a drop-in program. No ticket is required.
Have you ever wondered how museums, textbooks, or papers get those detailed drawings of specimens to look so realistic? Don’t worry, it’s not as hard as you think!
In this workshop, we will be exploring the art and science of scientific illustration—measured drawings that are created to preserve an artifact and highlight features of its surface. It’s an excellent way to learn a new skill and examine a specimen in a new way!
Cost: $40 plus HST. 10% discount for Rooms members.
All materials included! Register online or call (709) 757-8090.
Peoples of Newfoundland and Labrador
Stroll across land and sea, and through time, to meet the peoples who have made Newfoundland and Labrador home for the past 9,000 years.
Each tour is approximately 30 – 40 minutes and is included in the cost of admission. Free for Rooms members.
