Events & Programs

10:30 am - 11:15 am

Join Mireille Eagan, Curator of Contemporary Art, for a rare behind-the-scenes tour of the art gallery’s vault. The tour will explore how art—and the ideas behind it—have changed over the decades, through shifts in style, materials, and cultural moments.

You'll see a selection of artworks from the collections that are rarely on view, and learn how they reflect regional, national, and global histories. Along the way, get an inside look at how and why The Rooms collects, exhibits, and cares for artworks, and discover the quiet work that happens behind closed doors—from research to exhibition planning.

Cost: $20 plus HST. Registration is now open. Secure your spot by calling (709) 757-8090.

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.
