Based on our old Canadian Inuit Collection and artwork from other circumpolar areas, we are promoting the art of the circumpolar peoples.
Promotion of the art of the Arctic Circle is part of sustainable development, contributing to maintaining cultural diversity and sensitising the public to the environmental challenges in the northern polar regions.
Our exhibition in Bern, Switzerland, has beautiful examples of a wide range of contemporary circumpolar art, including stone sculptures, whalebone, walrus-tusk and antler carvings from the Arctic, walrus-tusk etchings from Siberia, as well as, Canadian and Russian graphics, prints and drawings.
We organise exhibitions with lectures about the Arctic, its people, their culture and history. We organise events for companies and organisations and assist schools and students wanting information. We are interested in working together with others interested in the Arctic.
We are redesigning our website. Therefore only this page is visible. Please call back in February 2008 for full content.
