Inuit culture all the rage in France

From a wildly popular art exhibition to Inuktitut lessons, Inuit culture is all the rage in France

In Paris's grand old Musée de l'Homme, near the Eiffel Tower, the flow of fascinated visitors these days is steady. The museum's spotlight exhibition, Inuit: quand la parole prend forme (Inuit: When Words Take Shape), on display through March 27, offers a glimpse into a world almost unimaginably distant from the French capital: Canada's frozen Arctic. Yet it is a world that a surprising number in France have embraced and studied with care. And it's a world, some of them say, that Canadians are all too prepared to take for granted.

This is a fascinating story about the success of this exhibit in Paris on Inuit culture.
