For the people of Narsaq, McCartney and Muse are more like the names of local horses. It is one of the most agricultural cities in Greenland. Residents of Narsaq consider themselves Northern cowboys, who have a fur hood instead of a hat, and a metal harpoon instead of a revolver.

The local respect history: they grow vegetables and are engaged in cattle breeding and other farming duties. They are also willing to tell visitors the history of this place. In a warm, soulful atmosphere, all these stories create the feeling of a fairy tale. They are like bedtime stories that make your imagination work.

You can learn about the history of Narsaq in the City Museum. There is a collection of both Narsaq and the whole of Greenland. The peculiarity of the museum is that it is not a single building. As in many cities in Greenland, the City Museum is housed in a complex of buildings. Exhibits are most often located in historical houses. So you could get acquainted with the history of the people both from inside and outside.

Even if Narsaq is not your first city in Greenland, you should still take a walk along its historical part and look at the architectural part of the museum collection. These colorful squat houses of stone, or sometimes wood, with bright shutters and gabled roofs, never cease to delight.

Norway? Yes, the Norwegians played an important role in the formation of Greenland. Settlers arrived there in 982. They came to this cold land as suddenly as they disappeared five centuries later. However, before they left, they greatly enriched the culture of the Greenlandic tribes.

You can see how the ancient Greenlanders and Norwegians lived. The museum carefully recreates the interiors of those times. It even shows how the housing of the rich differed from the shacks of the poor.
