Global News published this video item, entitled “New Inuit art centre opens at Winnipeg Art Gallery” – below is their description.
There is now one place in the world to see the largest collection of Inuit art and its right in the heart of Canada. The Winnipeg Art Gallery has just opened an exhibit and its inaugural opening is today with a virtual event.
The Inuit art centre adds another 40,000 square feet to the WAG, making it the fifth-largest art museum in Canada.
“The WAG has this extraordinary collection of Inuit art, close to 14,000 objects (and) another 8,000 on long-term loan,” Winnipeg Art Gallery Director and CEO Stephen Borys said, also noting that the WAG has been collecting Inuit art for 70 years.
“We’ve exhibited and published more than any museum in the world, but we’ve never been able to kind of share more than probably one per cent of the collection at any time.”
