After our visit to Quidi Vidi Village we walked up to The Rooms. This is a controversial museum/art gallery on the hill overlooking the harbour. It dominates the skyline in some ways but we have come to really like it. It is about Newfoundland past and present. There are archives there that researchers can access. There are exhibits that change regularly as well as a few permanent displays.
The architecture is interesting with three wings that reach out to the sea. It represents the early "rooms" that settlers created for their fishing business.

We had a late lunch in the cafe. The views from there are wonderful and there is a walkway along the outside. We spent about 3 hours there and we didn't really see everything we wanted.
