Since 2000 we have been promoting contemporary circumpolar art by exhibiting our collection nationally and internationally in museums and at different venues. The public response to the wonderful artwork at the exhibitions has been so positive, that we have been motivated to open a platform for modern Arctic art in the heart of Europe.
Our new location is situated just a few steps from the main train station in Bern, Switzerland.
The setting offers an even better infrastructure for company, organisation and school events.
The private Cerny Inuit Collection is now exhibited adjacent to Galerie Cerny.
The exhibition rooms have beautiful examples of contemporary circumpolar art, including stone sculptures, whalebone, mammoth tusk, walrus tusk and antler carvings, ceramics, walrus-tusk etchings from Siberia, as well as, Canadian and Russian graphics, prints and drawings.
We are always happy to assist schools and students wanting information, to organise exhibitions with lectures about the Arctic, its people, their culture and history and to work together with others interested in the Arctic.
Through art and culture we are continuing our endeavours to contribute to a better intercultural understanding, maintaining the plurality of cultures, as well as communicating the environmental challenges in the North and encouraging sustainable development.
