Experience a classic…
More than 4,500 years of history are on display at the Greenland National Museum and Archives, making these converted harborfront warehouses a must-see for any first-time visitor to the world’s largest island. Exhibitions are arranged chronologically and include info and artifacts charting the lives of Stone Age Paleo-Eskimos, early Norse settlers and the Thule migrants from Alaska.
Now go deeper…
The small but mighty Nuuk Art Museum is located in a former Adventist church. The permanent collection includes an array of soapstone, wood, bone and ivory carvings found throughout Greenland, plus important holdings by Christine Deichmann, J.E.C. Rasmussen and Harald Moltke. The learning doesn’t end when you walk out the door, either. Save a copy of the museum’s 19-stop ArtWALK map and 27-minute podcast to your phone to hear stories about Greenlandic myths and legends as they guide you to public sculptures made by local artists. The walking tour starts at Blok 10, a stone’s throw from Nuuk Art Museum.
