Barbara Rae @ Canada House

This exhibition, The Northwest Passage, by Barbara Rae sits alongside a selection of Inuit sculpture from the Belle Shenkman Collection.
The Arctic and the history of exploration in the far north has long been a subject of fascination for renowned Scottish artist Barbara Rae.
Inspired by the voyages of a namesake, Arctic explorer and fellow Scot Dr John Rae, who was born in Orkney and explored Canada’s Arctic during his time with the Hudson Bay Company in the 1830s, Barbara Rae set out on a series of four journeys of her own.
