Welcome to Upernavik Museum

Upernavik Museum is located in the old part of the town which is southwest area of the island.

That location is where the trade began. The trading places back then are the towns of todays Greenland, so we can say that the trading places are essential of todays Greenland.

Upernavik Museum uses the original buildings that were used as the foundation of the establishment of trading place Upernavik
