Kenojuak Ashevak's art is on the Canadian ten-dollar note, yet Inuit prints are rarely shown in Europe. Here you walk past nearly 250 works from Nunavut and Nunavik, mostly prints, plus drawings and sculptures, covering about 70 years. Her Decorative char (2004) is in the show, and so is Kingmeata Etidlooie's Shaman's dream from 1969.

The museum calls it one of the largest shows of contemporary Inuit art ever held in Europe. It is built around the artists rather than ethnography: their own comments sit beside the works, and the printing techniques are explained. Women artists get the most space. Themes run from shamanism, myth and the polar night to gender relations and climate change. The core is the collection of the Belgian writer Carl Norac, with European loans.

Tickets are €18, €9 for ages 18 to 25, and free under 18. On late openings (19 November, 17 December, then monthly to 15 April) there are guided tours. A sound walk runs on the ErfgoedApp: bring a phone and headphones.
