Art Galleries and Museums

The Rooms (Art Gallery, Museum and Archives) opened in July 2005 and is located in the large building west of the Roman Catholic Basilica a few minutes walk from downtown. They have a wonderful view and I think have a restaurant.
Resouce Centre for the Arts (RCA) Gallery. This is downstairs at the LSPU Hall and is the waiting area after buying a ticket for upstairs events, or for intermission, and in that respect is similar to the one at the Vancouver East Cultural Centre. If no events are on upstairs I believe the gallery is open until 5 p.m. This may be moving out of the LSPU soon (2008).
The Christina Parker Gallery is at 7 Plank Road which is near Job Street and Water Street West and not far from St. Patrick's Cathedral.
Eastern Edge Gallery is an artists co-op I think and is on Harbour Drive I think not far from the rear of the Murray Premises.
Devon House Craft Gallery has a shop for sale of crafts and I think upstairs there is a gallery and workshop space for textile and other art forms. This is very close to Hotel Newfoundland.
The James Baird Gallery is on the second floor of Wordplay Bookstore which has a little coffee shop now on the main floor.

Commissariat House --- not far from Quidi Vidi lake. An old restored house, complete with table settings, antiques, displays.
Cape Spear --- there are some old barracks, at which weekly late summer folk concerts take place in late summer, usually Thursdays, hosted by Anita Best unless she is touring. I think in recent years (now 2008) these concerts have been suspended but I hope they get funding to resume them.
Signal Hill. The tower and nearby museum have lots of displays.

There is now a Newfoundland Science Centre at the Murray Premises downtown, and the Johnson Geo Centre halfway up Signal Hill.
