GREENLAND VISITOR CENTER

Ilulissat Icefjord Centre is owned by the self-owned institution Greenland Visitor Center. Ilulissat Icefjord Centre is on daily basis led by the head of the Icefjord Centre, who refers to the CEO of Greenland Visitor Center and the board of Greenland Visitor Center. 

From Ilulissat Icefjord Centre we wish to express our gratitude to our partners and sponsors. It is with their support the building and exhibition have achieved their high level of quality and standards.

The Icefjord Centre has grown to be a Danish/Greenlandic partnership between the philanthropic organization Realdania, Naalakkersuisut (Government of Greenland) and Avannaata Kommunia. In 2015 these three parties made the decision to build a visitor centre at the Icefjord. In 2016 Dorte Mandrups winning architecture project was announced after an international architecture competition. In the summer of 2021 the doors of the Icefjord Centre opened for the very first time and the house was handed over to Greenland Visitor Center.

The exhibition and the dissemination at the Icefjord Centre have been developed by JAC Studios and sponsored by Nordea-Fonden, Augustinus Fonden, Bloomberg Philanthropies and OAK Foundation, who are also sponsoring the Icefjord Centres Learning platform and educational material.

If your company is interested in being a sponsor of the Icefjord Centre and our good purpose please contact Elisabeth Momme M: +299 555588.
