Stone & Man Sculptures
Ujamiit Inuillu
More than 40 stone reliefs scattered across the rocks of the town, carved on site in the 1990s by Nordic artists. Together they form an open-air art gallery.
The Stone & Man project was initiated by Greenlandic sculptor Aka Høegh. In 1993 and 1994 it invited 18 artists from Nordic countries to carve more than 40 works directly onto natural rocks and walls inside Qaqortoq. The subjects include faces, whales, mythical figures and abstract patterns. The works are scattered across the rocky slopes between the harbor, the schools and the residential areas. The visitor center offers a map for finding them. Following the map takes about 1 to 2 hours, and you can also see the colorful houses, harbor and church along the way. The works are free to see, and you can view them all day. Some pieces are near private homes, so be considerate when taking photos.
