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.
Archaeological findings from the Saqqaq settlements, dating back 4,000 years, present physical evidence of early human habitation in the Arctic region.
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.
Visitors can examine an 18th-century kayak and explore a reconstructed peat house that demonstrates residential life from the early 1900s.
