Qaqortoq Museum

The museum complex contains four buildings in the town center, including the original Colonial Leader's residence from 1804 and a former smith workshop from 1871.

The museum building dates from 1804 and served as the Royal Greenland Trading Department, representing one of the earliest colonial structures in South Greenland.

The exhibits present Inuit artifacts such as traditional boats, hunting equipment, national costumes, and Norse objects that demonstrate the region's varied cultural heritage.

The museum opens Tuesday through Friday and Sunday from 13:00 to 16:00, offering guided tours and a shop with local crafts and books.

Two restored rooms in the museum commemorate visits by polar explorer Knud Rasmussen and aviator Charles Lindbergh, maintaining their original color schemes.
