Nuuk Art Museum, Art museum in Nuuk, Greenland.

The Nuuk Art Museum occupies a former Seventh-day Adventist Church building and contains over 1200 items including paintings, sculptures, and photographs.

The museum opened its doors in 2005 when Svend and Helene Junge donated their private collection to the citizens of Kommuneqarfik Sermersooq.

The collection displays works from European artists depicting Greenland alongside pieces by Greenlandic Inuit artists, creating a visual dialogue between perspectives.

The museum spans 600 square meters, featuring both permanent and rotating exhibitions, with information available in Greenlandic, Danish, and English.

The collection includes 150 paintings by Emanuel A. Petersen and numerous carvings made from regional materials such as soapstone, bone, and ivory.
