Inuit Art – whale bone sculptures Mc Cord Museum

On a casual stroll through the Mc Cord museum in Montreal I stumbled upon many delightful facts!

Whale bone art sculptures that depicted scenes from daily life were interesting mainly because of the medium.

Photography was not allowed unfortunately.

The art is created by the Inuit people or Eskimos that inhabit Canada’s Arctic region, Numbering around 60000 totally they live in 30 isolated communities, each with a distinct artistic style.

One more example of interesting naive art!
