Exhibit: Cool & Interesting Beauty at Museum of Inuit Art!

MIA's Boldly Baker Lake + Stories from the Vault Exhibition Reviews

Over the weekend I visited The Museum of Inuit Art (MIA) down at the Queens Quay Terminal building in Toronto. I always enjoy visiting this small and charming museum filled with amazing Inuit sculptures and artwork.

In addition to the museum's permanent collection, there are three exhibitions currently running at the MIA - Boldly Baker Lake: Barnabus Arnasungaaq, Stories from the Vault, and Collaboratively Created Ceramics from Rankin. Each small exhibition is quite interesting, beautiful and worth the trip down to the construction-riddled harbourfront.

Toronto Inuit Art Exhibition + Museum Review

Heya! Over the weekend I enjoyed the sunshine at Toronto's waterfront and visited the Museum of Inuit Art (MIA) for the very first time, located in the historic Queen's Quay Terminal Building. I have walked by the small museum for years and always enjoyed the Inuit sculptures peeking out through the windows, but finally decided to pay the $5 admission price and go in. And I was not disappointed.

Since 2007, this charming museum is the only museum south of the Arctic, devoted exclusively to the display of all types of Inuit art from across Canada.  MIA is quite small: it only has 4 small galleries and a few corridors that display the amazing art pieces. But what it lacks in space, MIA makes up in charm and unique and original art.
