The Arctic Voyages of Martin Frobisher
From: March 13, 2000 To: October 30, 2005 |
The exhibition presents Martin Frobisher's 1576-78 expeditions to Nunavut in Arctic Canada as an important event in the long history of relationships between Inuit and Europeans. This was the first European expedition to search for a Northwest Passage to Asia, the first large scale mining venture in Canada, and the earliest attempt by the English to establish a colony in the New World.
