The Rotunda
The best kept artistic secret in Newfoundland and Labrador. A display of ceramic murals that depicts the culture and the history of the people of Newfoundland and Labrador. The Jordi Bonet Murals, created and fabricated by the Montreal artist Jordi Bonet in 1967, are to be found in the Rotunda of the Charles S. Curtis Memorial Hospital in St. Anthony. On entering, the Rotunda through the main doors of the Hospital, one is at once struck by the beauty and harmony of design and colour. Some of the panels are quite realistic and not difficult to interpret; others are more abstract, but they all have definite meaning relating to the people of Newfoundland and Labrador, their life, or the country in which they live.
