In collaboration with the Canadian Museum of Nature
The Canadian Arctic Expedition of 1913-1918 was an unforgettable saga of exploration, discovery and human drama. The Expedition was one of the world’s last great journeys of discovery before the age of modern communication.
The exhibition revisits the triumphs and tragedies of this historic adventure and shows how it affected the Canadian Arctic and its population. An adventure that redrew the map of the Arctic and expanded our understanding of its environment and cultures.
