Greenland National Museum is Greenland's largest cultural history museum. The Museum preserves the Greenlandic history and our objects, art and images are from all over the country. A visit to the National Museum is a glimpse into all the cultures that have existed in the country from the earliest people to modern the Greenland society.

We spent maybe 90 minutes going through the museum. It is well worth the time. Won't repeat all the other reviews, but you will get a quick history lesson of the groups of people who have inhabited the island and some are surprising in time lines. The Norwegians actually settled in the south about the same time the Inuit did the north, but didn't stay. There were other earlier groups that did not stay. You get a feel for just now difficult and challenging simple survival was in Greenland. Exhibits are quite variable from taxidermy animals to modes of transportation. Fun fact - Nanook is the Inuit term for Polar Bear. Lots of other fascinating things to learn. Not big, simple but really well done.

Nanortalik, Greenland was one of the ports of call on our Holland America round-trip TransAtlantic cruise, and is an Inuit settlement. Anyway, as I viewed the landscape, I could appreciate how that landscape had been sculptured over hundreds of thousands of years......... by the movement of glacial ice........ice movement that essentially stripped away any pre-existing soil, ice movement that altered V-shaped valleys into U-shaped valleys, leaving a rounded landscape, with sharp, angular peaks and ridges where the rock was not covered by glaciers. Also, for those readers who may have an interest, the exposed rocks at Nanortalik are part of the geologic trend we in the USA refer to as the Appalachian Mountains. I was also fortunate to meet and talk with a grade school class, on a "field trip" from their school about 1/2 mile away. Some of the kids asked why I was looking at the rocks.....so we talked.

I stopped in the museum to learn about the local history. It looks small from the outside l, but is big once you get inside. The museum has info from the early 1900s to present. Most of the museum is in Danish, but I would still recommend going. It contains a lot of artifacts and pictures of the area.
