2024
Go there and contact
This vast and very modern complex (whose name means "Sami village"), which welcomes more than 120,000 people a year, offers a clear and complete panorama of the Sami world. Through five exhibitions, you will discover all that characterizes the Saami community through the various temporary and permanent exhibition rooms that the museum houses.
You will discover examples of art and crafts that speak volumes about the poetry of these people, who have long been marginalized by the Nordic countries, as well as a historical retrospective, or information about their way of life (with notably an evolution of the means of transportation from reindeer to snow scooters and scooters!) and their traditions in terms of clothing, camps and food. The fauna and flora are not forgotten with a staging of the changes on the eight seasons of the year, photos more or less luminous according to the season and reconstitution of habitats to support.
In summer as well as in winter, the open-air museum also gives a good measure of the Saami habitat on its seven hectares. A very beautiful museum, educational and accessible to all - and in particular to children, who have already visited more than 800,000 people since its opening.
To complete the picture, many events are organized throughout the year, so don't hesitate to ask for information on site or via the online calendar on their website. An exciting and unmissable museum!
