Knud Rasmussen's Museum

Knud Rasmussen's Museum in Ilulissat, Greenland, is dedicated to the Danish explorer Knud Rasmussen and is housed in a historic town home that closely ties his legacy to the place. Built in 1917 to a design by Helge Bojsen-Møller, the house has served as a museum devoted to Rasmussen since 1939, making the building itself part of the story as well as the setting for the collection. A fire damaged the house in 2011, but the building and its furniture were saved. It remains both a memorial to Rasmussen and a preserved early twentieth-century home in Ilulissat.
