The local museum documents the history and culture of South Greenland, with collections covering the Norse settlements, Inuit history, traditional hunting equipment, and the more recent history of the sheep-farming community that has developed here since the early 20th century. A particular focus is the work of Frederik Hoegh, a local printer and publisher who produced significant printed materials in Greenland in the 19th century, and Henrik Lund, the priest and poet who wrote Greenland's national anthem — both of whom were associated with Narsaq.
The museum is small and the collections are modest, but for such a remote place it is remarkably coherent. It provides good context for the Norse ruins and Inuit sites in the surrounding area. Entry is charged; opening hours are limited in winter.
