Nanoq (Inuit for Polar Bear) is a museum in Jakobstad, Finland, specializing on arctic culture and Greenland in particular.
The museum hosts an exhibition about famous polar expeditions and displays many items, e.g. the balloon gondola from S.A. Andrée's fateful expedition and material from the John Phipps expedition to Svalbard around 1770, as well as several documents that refer to the Norwegian explorers Fridtjof Nansen and Roald Amundsen.
