I didn’t quite know what to expect when visiting The Rooms, and I have to say that I was presently surprised.nnThe museum is on one side of the building, split between the third and fourth floor. The third floor does a great job acknowledging the natural world of Newfoundland, and the history of the Indigenous People here. The fourth floor focuses on more modern European colonial history, acknowledging it as such. I was very impressed.nnThe other side of the museum has the art museum split over the third and fourth floor. I was absolutely blown away by some of the pieces. There was excellent Indigenous representation, and the questions with the pieces on the fourth floor to help you think about the art I found compelling. What a great way to help guests learn to engage with art!nnThe views of the city from both the third and fourth floors were excellent. There is a cafe on the fourth floor, and other components to the museum, such as the archives, but we didn’t visit these. The first floor had a gift shop.nnWe were impressed by how accessible the building was, with electronic door openers and multiple elevators, as well as the fact they had signs downstairs by the gift shop around scent sensitivity.nnOver all - well worth a visit we came at the end of the day and were able to complete it in 1.5 hours, but we are very efficient museum people. I’d suggest at least 2. More if you really want to read every sign and piece of info!
Definitely don't miss this if you are in Saint John's. There is a large amount of indigenous and local history in 1 accessible location. I was particularly impressed with the Native American displays, especially their traditional clothing/art/tools.nnAdditionally, the WWI exhibit is one of the best I have ever experienced.nnWhile I did not try it out, the little restaurant inside offer a beautiful view while dining. If I return, I will definitely make that as part of my trip.
Really enjoyed visiting this museum. Somthing for everyone here and gives you a very good look at life and history of newfoundland and Labrador. Got a military discount for myself and family. Parking is $2 but there are parking lots that are free nearby. Would recommend to anyone looking for a family friendly museum to spend a few hours at in St John's.
The museum rooms are well done. It also has a viewing balcony that overlooks the Harbour. We enjoyed the daily Harbour symphony while there. Well worth a visit plan on spending a few hours.
Amazing, and I wish I had planned more time. There are plenty of exhibits relevant to the East Coast. A gift shop on the main floor and a cafe on the top floor. Free coat check as well. The exhibits from the museum to the art gallery have something for everyone. The view.....is something else.
