OTTAWA -- A Canadian museum criticized for postponing an exhibit of Arab-Canadian artists after the terrorist attacks in the United States announced Friday it would proceed with the display as planned. Prime Minister Jean Chretien had said he disagreed with the decision by Ottawa's Canadian Museum of Civilization to indefinitely postpone the exhibit by 26 artists titled Lands Within Me, which was scheduled to open Oct. 8. Museum president Victor Rabinovitch acknowledged the criticism in announcing the exhibit's opening.
