St John's - Newfoundland Museum

The Newfoundland Museum, just across the road from the Anglican cathedral, traces the history of Newfoundland and Labrador back 9000 years, with exhibits dating from prehistoric as well as colonial times. One section includes an excellent collection of Indian art while another is devoted to the lives of the European pioneers who settled the province - from the hardships of the fisher folk to the elegant drawing rooms of the prosperous city dwellers.
