Skin Costumes Online

In October 2014 The Danish National Museum, in collaboration with the National Museum of Greenland and the Museum of Cultural History, Oslo, published the website Skin Costumes Online at http://skinddragter.natmus.dk/. This website is available both in Danish and in English.
 
Skin Costumes Online shows high-resolution photos and detailed information of outstanding and historic skin costumes from the indigenous peoples in Greenland, North America, North Scandinavia and Siberia.
Through the website easy access will be given to this rich cultural heritage, from museums' collections. 

This project was supported by The Nordic Culture Fund, Augustinus Fonden, Knud Rasmussen Fonden and the National Museum of Denmark through the research program Northern Worlds 2009-2013.​
