Sisimiut Museum, Cultural history museum in Sisimiut, Greenland.

The museum occupies several colonial buildings near the harbor, featuring exhibits about trade, shipping, and industrial development in western Greenland.

The museum collection includes tools gathered between 1902 and 1922, along with an original altarpiece from 1650 and paintings from the 1790s.

Located at Jukkorsuup Aqqutaa 6, the museum operates throughout the year and maintains regular communication through phone number +299 86 25 50.
