Melbourne, Australia
What brings you to MIA? Is this your first visit?
This is my first visit. After seeing the Inuit art display at the AGO, I wanted to visit the MIA and see more.
Why is this your favourite piece in the collection?
I like the simplicity and fluidity of this piece; so simply and clearly a bear.
