Galerie d'Art Inuit Brousseau

Québec City


Devoted to Inuit soapstone, serpentine and basalt carvings and sculptures from artists all over Arctic Canada, this place is gorgeously set up and elaborately lit, with well-trained staff who knowledgeably answer questions. Works range from the small to the large and intricate. Expect high quality and steep prices. International shipping is available.

The gallery's director, Raymond Brousseau, has been collecting Inuit art since the 1950s, and it is this visionary Québécois' collection that forms the basis of the splendid Brousseau Collection of Inuit Art on the top floor of the Pavillon Pierre Lassonde at the Musée National des Beaux-Arts du Québec.
