Knud Rasmussen's Museum, Historical museum in Ilulissat, Greenland.
The Knud Rasmussen Museum occupies a bright red two-story house with white trim located near the Zion Church in western Greenland.
The building, constructed in 1917 and designed by architect Helge Bojsen-Møller, became a public museum in 1939 following the transfer by Knud Rasmussen's widow.
The museum presents three permanent exhibitions focusing on Ilulissat history, Rasmussen's Arctic expeditions, and the ancient Sermermiut settlement near the Icefjord.
Visitors can explore the museum from Tuesday through Sunday between 11:00 AM and 4:00 PM, with adult admission priced at 75 Danish Kroner.
The Memorial Cairn, constructed in 1936 using stones from different regions of Greenland, stands on a hill overlooking the museum building.
