  • Description: Designed to incorporate the cultures of both the early white explorers and the local Netsilik Inuit, the Multi Use Centre houses offices for the Nattilik Heritage Society and an exceptional museum with some truly priceless artifacts. The famous Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen called Gjoa Haven 'the finest little harbor in the world' which is where it gets its Norse name from. It is the closest settlement to the recently discovered Sir John Franklin wrecks of HMS Terror and HMS Erebus hence the crowning jewel of the little museum, the recovered bell from the HMS Terror.
