Qaqortoq Museum is housed in the town’s oldest building, a black-tarred colonial administrator’s building which was built in 1804. 

The museum contains the reconstructed ‘Blue room’ and ‘Red room’, where Knud Rasmussen and Charles Lindbergh respectively stayed overnight.

The history of the Norse settlers is in focus and there are finds of harpoons, kayaks, blubber bags.

In connection with the museum a faithful copy of a peat hut from the beginning of the last century has been constructed.
