Justin Trudeau's sketch of Winnipeg museum to be auctioned off

It appears Canada's prime minister can draw,andquite well at that.

"I had no idea he had any visual arts skills," said Gail Asper, president of the Asper Foundationanda board member with both the Canadian Museum for Human Rights and the museum's foundation.

Asper is organizing an auction of a sketch of the museum thatJustinTrudeau drew in March 2015.

"He was clearlyvery inspired by what he saw,so he actually drew a lovelypicture of the museum," she said.

Asper said she first heard about Trudeau'sartworkwhen it wasused on postcards for Liberal Party of Canada fundraising.

In the summer,she asked theLiberal leader ifFriends of the Canadian Museum for Human Rights could have his piece for a fundraiser.

When itarrived soon after, Asper admittedshe was surprised how goodit was.

"It's extremely accurate, very sharp, and bright," she said.

"It's a beautiful painting of the museum."

Trudeau's drawing was appraised at $2,000 but Asper saysshe hopes to sell it for $10,000. The money would go into funding the Canadian Museum for Human Rights'temporary gallery and paying for studentsacross Canada to come visit the museum.

Trudeau's sketch is set to be auctioned on eBay in February.

"I can guarantee there's nothing like it.There probably never will be anything like it," saidAsper.

"To have a sitting prime minister who is passionate about freedom and human rights, who has visited the museum a few times now to have something like this is really very special."
