Museum of Inuit Art

The Inuit Museum of Art presents an extensive collection of Inuit art from the Polar Region of Canada.

The gallery is funded by the Dominion Bank of Canada and is housed in a private banking gallery. The museum is located in the heart of Toronto on the picturesque shore of the lake.

The museum was opened in 1987. There are more than 200 interesting exhibits representing the artistic works of the Inuit (Eskimos) – the population of the polar region of the country. Note that the exhibits presented to visitors belong to the period from the mid-60s of the 20th century and beyond. The museum’s collection includes handmade figurines, sculptures, models, and many of them are created on mythological motifs.

It is interesting that the museum conducts very peculiar excursions - so, tourists, in particular young people, are given a piece of paper at the entrance and are invited to depict some objects related to the theme of the museum (polar bear, walrus and others), for which tourists are awarded pleasant prizes.

Entrance to the museum is absolutely free. The recommended visit time is 1-1.5 hours.
