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. Now on the North Van Shipyards across from Lonsdale Quay, it pulls you in close over soapstone and argillite that took an artist months, until you're whispering about something neither of you expected to care about. Open seven days.
