Qaqortoq Museum

The Qaqortoq Museum, housed in an 1804 building that formerly served as the Julianehb colony manager's residence, features relics from the Dorset, Thule, and Norse cultures, each with its own exhibits and interpretation. Qaqortoq Museum is housed in the town’s oldest building, a black-tarred colonial administrator’s building.

Harpoons, kayaks, and an authentic replica of a peat hut are among the artifacts that particularly well depict Norse history. A replica of a umiac, a traditional Greenland boat, is also featured. The exquisitely reconstructed "Blue Room" and "Red Room", where the explorer Knud Rasmussen and the aviator Charles Lindbergh, respectively, stayed, are located on the top level. There is an old turf hut outside, so you get to see how Greenlanders lived before the Danes decided to modernize Greenland in the ’50s.
