Museums at the Senate
This annual program showcases the diversity and quality of artwork found in museums and galleries across Canada.
Exhibitions
This installation features a collection of prints by renowned Inuit artists, loaned to the Senate by the Winnipeg Art Gallery-Qaumajuq. The works depict various aspects of Northern life — from hunting and nature to family life and spirituality — and form the backdrop for senators’ work in committee room B-30 in the Senate of Canada Building.
The Winnipeg Art Gallery-Qaumajuq holds in trust the world’s largest public collection of contemporary Inuit art — just over 12,000 objects. In 2015, the Government of Nunavut loaned the gallery a further 7,300 objects from its Fine Art Collection. In March 2021, the Winnipeg Art Gallery celebrated the opening of Qaumajuq, a unique Inuit art centre connected to the gallery.
