Description | Wikipedia: The Greenland National Museum was one of the first museums established in Greenland, inaugurated in the mid-1960s. The museum has many artefacts related to archaeology, history, art, and handicrafts and also has information about ruins, graveyards, buildings etc. It is based in a warehouse which was built in 1936. DisplaysA major display in the museum contains the Qilakitsoq mummies. The mummies consist of three women and a six-month-old child, half of the mummies found at Qilakitsoq.The museum also houses a display on social change in the 1950s and one on geology. Several other nearby buildings also fall under the museums protection, such as the restocked cooper's workshop and a display on blubber vats and presses.

Fra Wikipedia, den frie encyklopædi: Museet blev opført i midten af 1960'erne og var det første museum på Grønland. Udstillingerne her indeholder både indsamlede genstande fra udgravninger i Grønland, og genstande som er overført fra Nationalmuseet i København. I tillæg til at være et museum med udstillinger, arbejder museet også med arkæologiske udgravninger og huser det centrale register over fredede bygninger og fortidsminder i Grønland. Det bidrager også indenfor naturfredning og byplanlægning. Samlingene dækker hele Grønlands 4-5.000 år gamle historie og har følgende udstillinger: Inuitterne (Saqqaq, Independence I-kulturen, Independence II-kulturen, Dorset-kulturen og Thule-kulturen) Nordboerne Gustav Holm-samlingen fra en ekspedition i 1880'erne (Konebådsekspeditionen) Polareskimoer omkring 1900 Kajakker, herunder den ældste kajak fra 1700-tallet Kunst og kunsthåndværk, både tidlig og nyere kunst Fotosamling, billeder fra hele landet |
