Qasigiannguit Museum

TIME : 2016/2/18 20:06:27

The Qasigiannguit Museum has an excellent collection of finds dating from the Saqqaq culture to the present Inuit culture. Fantastically well-preserved items recovered from excavations in Qeqertasussuk have a permanent home in the museum and give a detailed picture of life in Greenland's earliest Stone Age culture. Artefacts from the site are evidence that society of that period was far more advanced than previously assumed. The finds include a large collection of tools and the northernmost discovery of the now extinct great auk. There are also natural-history displays and exhibits of hunters' clothing.
