INUIT Gallery Central Zurich

The INUIT Gallery Central in Zurich is a truly unconventional art experience. Offering a unique, captivating view into a culture quite unknown to most westerners, the little gallery has become an insiders’ tip among collectors and enthusiasts. In their variety, the exhibits possess a primeval aspect that taps into a part of humanity that can be found in all people. For gallery owner Jeannine Bromundt, the art of the Inuit strikes a personal chord. Always interested in artistic expression, her interest in the Arctic culture was first sparked by her studies of cultural anthropology and art ethnology. However, it was the meeting of a European who married an Inuit woman that really inspired her. Through him, she had the opportunity to visit the Arctic and get to know and experience the cultural backgrounds, myths and animist thinking of the Inuit first hand.
