The museum opened in 1991, on the edge of an area excavated for rock engravings discovered in 1973. This is the largest area of its kind in Northern Europe, and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It was quickly voted best European museum in 1993, with 3,000 open-air engravings dating from 2,500 to 7,000 years ago. Inside the building, the museum features exhibitions on Finnmark's prehistory, Saami culture and the mysterious Komsa culture, named after the nearby mountain (viewpoint of the midnight sun). Superb.

Un site remarquable , avec des parcours extérieurs très bien réalisés. L'approche est originale et le musée intérieur remarquable comprenant trois expositions différentes sur la culture Sami, sur la pêche au Saumon dans la rivière Alta et une exposition temporaire. A voir !!!

Musée très intéressant dans un cadre magnifique. Suivez les deux itinéraires de passerelles (long mais très agréable). Les gravures du premier itinéraire sont repassées à la peinture rouge pour être plus visibles.
