What's Happening in London, ON…

One of London’s premier museums has opened its doors once again, featuring a new pair of exhibits on Inuit art and the culture of quilting.

Museum London has re-opened its physical space at reduced hours, including a morning hour specifically for senior citizens. Among the exhibits are two new displays called “Inuusivut Nunavummi: Our Lives on the Tundra” and “Under Cover: Quilts from the Collection”.
Inuusivut Nunavummi will feature the first generation of Inuit artists who made their work commercially available between the 1950s and 1970s. The exhibits include pieces created with traditional painting, sewing and carving that depict daily life in their arctic communities in the Northwest Territories and what is now Nunavut.

Under the Cover will showcase Museum London’s unique collection of quilts and other spreads, with 15 examples from the 1860s to 1950s. The exhibition will focus on how the items convey the stories of the times and places they were created in.

Museums and galleries often use tools like flyer printing and social media posts to raise awareness of new exhibits or programs. In addition to the two new exhibits, Museum London will continue to feature the photography exhibit Resolution, its large permanent collection and its series of virtual events and exhibits.

Inuusivut Nunavummi and Under Cover opened along with Museum London on February 25, and both exhibits will run until June 13.
