Photographs on arktiskebilleder.dk are now free to use for all
The more than 180,000 photographs online at arktiskebilleder.dk are now available for free to everyone.
As our director, Anne Mette Randrup Jørgensen, says in an Sermitsiaq.AG article about this news, we work purposefully to become more visible, as this unique cultural heritage belongs to us all.
The exhibition is extended to new year here at the Arctic House, Strandgade 102, KBH K. It is open Monday - Thursday from 9am to 4pm and Friday from 9am to 3pm. Ring the doorbell for Arktisk Institut or Polarbiblioteket to get access.
The watercolours by Konrad Nuka Godtfredsen about the 5th Thule Expedition can now also be seen here.
The exhibition is free.
Knud Rasmussen's largest expedition went from Greenland to the Pacific Ocean and proved that people in the Arctic were connected linguistically and culturally and by coherent prehistory. Today we can rejoice that the expedition collected an important cultural heritage about life across the Arctic: A wealth of poetic tales and myths, thousands of museum objects, photos, drawings and scientific reports.
We bring it into play in new ways and we invite you along.
The anniversary is marked with a myriad of activities 2021-2024 and you can follow it all on the webpage www.5thule100.dk/
