Cathedral Museum "The Finest Room In the Colony" The Basilica Cathedral
Museum located at the corner of Military Road and Bonaventure Avenue is now
open. The newly renovated museum was originally built as a Public Library
and Reading Room in 1859. A British Officer writing in 1861 described the
library as "the finest room in the colony." The Museum features fourteen
professionally designed panels that tell the story of the development of
Roman Catholicism in Newfoundland. Also featured is the largest collection
of church artifacts of artistic and historical significance in Canada.
Artifacts on display date from 1524 and include sacred vessels, furniture,
liturgical garb, paintings, books, and much more.
