Museum-quality Inuit and Northwest Coast art on the North Van Shipyards since 1979, free to walk in, steps from Lonsdale Quay.
Since 1979 the Inuit Gallery has shown some of the finest Inuit and Northwest Coast art you'll see outside a museum, and it's completely free to walk in and look. The gallery is now on the North Van Shipyards, directly across from Lonsdale Quay and the Polygon, which is either a convenient fact or just another reason this strip keeps pulling you back. Wandering the carvings, prints and sculptures is hushed and oddly intimate: you find yourself leaning in close over soapstone and argyllite work that took an artist months, and suddenly you're whispering about something neither of you expected to care about. Open seven days, which is rare for a gallery this serious. Use it as the calm opening act of a Lower Lonsdale evening, then graze the Shipyards market, get a waterfront drink, and watch the SeaBus cross.
