Large Bear based on Cape Dorset Inuit art under Ursa Major constellation flap.

This mat was designed in consultation with staff at the Scott Polar Research Institute, and reflects their particular scientific, cultural, geographical and historical interests in the Arctic region. The Museum has various models to move around and place in the many pockets for users to discover. Staff and volunteers contributed to the mat by adding stitches during an evening 'sew-in'.
