Did you know ...
The name Twillingate comes from the French word "Toulinquet" which was given to the islands by French fishermen, who named them after a group of islands off the French coast, near Brest, also called Toulinquet.

Twillingate Gallery
This museum, set at the Iceberg Quest boat tour location at 52 Main Stree right on the ocean, is the newest addition to the art scene in Twillingate. The gallery shows the art of Nina Keogh and photographer John Satterberg.

Art at Museums and Gift Shops
A selection of art, prints, crafts and gifts are available at gift shops in the Twillingate Museum, Durrell Museum and Iceberg Tours gift shop.
Authentic Local Art
The true art of this island, is however in the crafts that are not in galleries. Look out for Newfoundland crazy quilts or for exquisitely hand-knitted knitted items such as sweaters, mittens, hats or vamps (knitted socks).
