About The Rooms

For nearly two decades, The Rooms has been a gathering place for stories, creativity, and connections. As we approach our 20^th anniversary, we are proud of our impact on the community and excited about what lies ahead. 

Since opening in 2005, The Rooms has hosted hundreds of exhibitions and over 1,000 educational and public programs, inspiring more than 1 million visitors.

• We are the stewards of over a million natural history specimens and artifacts that connect our past to the present and future.
• Our art collection includes over 11,000 works, ranging from historical to contemporary, from international art to local crafts and folk art. While we focus primarily on Newfoundland and Labrador artists, we also house significant Canadian works.
• The Rooms manages three Regional Museums, located in Grand Falls-Windsor, Grand Bank, and North West River, Labrador.
• We preserve government records of Newfoundland and Labrador that have enduring legal, fiscal, evidential, or research value. Additionally, we collect private records that hold historical significance for the province.
• Our collections are accessible to the public, and our staff offer support to anyone seeking answers or conducting research.
