Aasiaat Museum

Local museum in a former colonial administrator's house

Aasiaat Museum is the town's main indoor sight, housed in the former colonial administrator's residence. Its exhibitions cover local history, Greenlandic culture, and art, and the building itself is one of the clearer traces of the Danish colonial period in town.

It is a small museum, but that suits Aasiaat. Visit early in your stay and the harbour, old houses, and everyday town life will read with a little more context afterward.
