Upernavik Museum

Upernavik Museum in the northwestern Greenland town of Upernavik is regarded as Greenland’s oldest museum and is particularly recognized for its extensive collection of local art. Guided by its own Museum Board, which chooses artists based on recommendations from the curator, it places strong emphasis on work connected to the area. That focus gives the museum an important role in preserving and presenting the culture of the Upernavik region.
