A waterfall cascades down mist-shrouded granite cliffs into Nuup Kangerlua, Nuuk's fjord, fed by summer runoff from the peaks above.

Ajagaq is an arts handicraft workshop operated by the municipality since 2015. Here local artists carve, sculpt, and share Greenlandic craft traditions. The green front of the house displays two bold tupilak murals.

A carved granite memorial in Nuuk's Colonial Harbour honors Arnarulunnguaq (1896–1933), the only woman to join Knud Rasmussen's Fifth Thule Expedition across the Arctic.

Niels Motzfeldt's Inussuk sculpture stands here in a snow-covered Nuuk, its three pillars united and leaning on one another, overlooking the Colonial Harbour and fjord. The stones were gathered from across the country, and the sculpture marks the start of Greenlandic self governance on June 21, 2009. "Inussuk" roughly translates to "something that resembles a human being."
