The Arctic Museum is open once again with a new installation of contemporary Canadian Inuit art.

On November 18 over 250 guests attended a performance by Inuit throat singers Lois Suluk-Locke and Nancy Mike, followed by a reception and the exhibit opening. Visitors to the exhibit were thrilled to see the dramatic changes to the museum galleries, and enthralled with the prints and sculptures on view. This special exhibit will be on view until December 2011.

Where can you find an Inuit superhero flying on a magic fish, a nightmarish monster, and a mother tenderly cradling her child, all in one place?
