The Rooms unites the Provincial Museum, the Provincial Art Gallery and the Provincial Archives under one roof. From the glaciers' retreat 12,000 years ago to contemporary life, the museum tells the stories of Newfoundland and Labrador and its diverse peoples.
Over a million natural history specimens and over a million artifacts bring these stories to life. You’ll come face to face with a polar bear on the tundra and be able to look closely at carnivorous plants in a bog. Marvel at all kinds of sea life.
Three floors of exhibit space include permanent exhibits, temporary exhibits from the collections and traveling exhibits from around the world. “Connections,” the museum's permanent exhibit, introduces visitors to Newfoundland and Labrador, its natural life and the peoples who lived here from 9,000 years ago to 1730.
If you want to delve deeper, just contact the museum in advance and they’ll arrange access to their research collections – over a million artifacts and specimens – each with its own story to tell. The Rooms is located at 9 Bonaventure Ave.
