Itsanitaq Museum, Indigenous art museum in Churchill, Canada
The Itsanitaq Museum displays a collection of Inuit carvings made from whalebone, soapstone, and caribou antler in a single exhibition room.
Founded in 1944 by Bishop Marc Lacroix, the museum began in a small room within the Bishop's residence before moving to its current location in 1961.
The collection contains millennia-old harpoon heads and bone carvings from pre-Inuit Thule and Dorset cultures of the Igloolik region.
The museum opens Monday through Saturday from 1 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. during winter and extends hours from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. in summer months.
Among the exhibits are loon-skin shoes, narwhal horns, snow goggles made from caribou antler, and a sealskin-covered qayaq.
