Three floors of exhibit space give the Museum the capacity to interpret our past in may ways. There are 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.

Fun, interactive exhibit components engage children in an exploration of the world around them. Other temporary exhibits focus on the cultural diversity of contemporary Newfoundland and Labrador.

Visitors are invited to broaden their experience of the Museum by taking part in a variety of extensive and exciting programming. From special events to interactive media to on-site learning experiences, the Museum offers a diversity of ways to better understand our environment and ourselves.

If you want to delve deeper, just let us know in advance and we’ll arrange access to our research collections – over a million artifacts and specimens – each with its own piece of our story to tell.

For everyone from school children to visitors to the province, the Museum opens doors to the breadth and depth of Newfoundland and Labrador history and our unique culture.
