Qaumajuq's
inaugural exhibition is historic in itself. For the first time ever, a
curatorial team represents all four regions of Inuit Nunangat: Dr.
Heather Igloliorte, asinnajaq, Krista Ulujuk Zawadski, and Kablusiak.
INUA
has two meanings: spirit or life force; and an acronym for Inuit
Nunangat Ungammuaktut Atautikkut, or “Inuit moving forward together”.
The
show features more than 90 Inuit artists working across the Arctic and
urban centres. New commissions alongside works from the WAG’s
world-renowned collection of Inuit art span generations of artists.

https://www.wpgforfree.ca/2021/02/12/free-admission-to-le-musee-de-saint-boniface-museum-throughout-2021/
Manitoba 150 exists to shine a light on all that makes Manitoba amazing and unique – our beauty, people, cultures, and history. With support from Réseau Compassion Network, Le Musée de Saint-Boniface Museum – home to the world’s largest collection of Louis Riel artifacts, is offering free admission to individuals and families throughout 2021.
The Grey Nuns’ convent, Winnipeg’s oldest building, houses Le Musée de Saint-Boniface Museum. Built for the Grey Nuns who arrived in the Red River Colony in 1844, the structure is an outstanding example of Red River frame construction. The Museum presents an impressive collection of artifacts that reveal the lives and culture of the Francophone and Métis communities of Manitoba, including a special exhibit about Louis Riel, the “father” of Manitoba.
