Eskimo Museum

TIME : 2016/2/19 3:56:31

This museum is really just a bunch of stuff in an unexciting room with linoleum floors, but like Churchill it sucks you in and soon an hour or two has passed.

The obvious standouts – stuffed polar bear and musk ox, narwhal horns and original hide-covered kayaks – are immediate attention-grabbers, but closer inspection reveals tiny arrowheads, big harpoon blades and hundreds of carvings showing intricate scenes of everyday life (look for the one titled First Airplane ). A large range of Northern books are for sale.
