Ancient and Modern Inuit Art on Display at The Coffey County Historical Museum, 1101 Neosho Street Burlington, KS   66839.

Arctic Spirit:  Inuit Art from the Albrecht Collection at the Heard Museum, showing at The Coffey County Historical Museum beginning November 15th, 2007, displays the Canadian Inuit culture’s rich artistic history.  The Inuits, or Eskimos, are a society of natives who live mainly in Siberia, Alaska, Greenland, and the Canadian Arctic.  Though many consider these various groups to be homogenous, Arctic Spirit showcases the artistic styles that are distinctly of the Canadian Inuit. This exhibition is toured by Exhibits USA, which is the national touring program of Mid-America Arts Alliance, a non-profit regional arts organization based in Kansas City, Missouri.
