Witness: Canadian Art of the First World War

A travelling exhibition developed by the Canadian War Museum

The First World War was a defining moment in Canadian history. To commemorate its centenary, The Rooms is proud to bring this exhibition to St. John’s. Supported by National Presenting Sponsor TD Bank Group, this uniquely evocative exhibition gives Canadians an opportunity to view never-before-seen paintings and drawings, and to appreciate how art was used to document and communicate wartime experiences to families and the public a hundred years ago.
