The first Sami museum in Norway was established here in 1972. It is now the largest collection and exhibition of Sámi culture, history and art in Norway. The open-air museum has traditional buildings that recreate the way of life of reindeer herders. In the building you can see, among other things, Sami works of art, historical shaman drums and clothing. Further information here: rdm.no/en/de_samiske_samlinger-2

In the Sami Museum you can learn interesting facts about the culture and way of life of the Sami. The exhibition shows a wide variety of clothing and tools of the indigenous population. Unfortunately, most of the exhibits are not explained in German, only in English. Various Sami dwellings can be viewed outside. These provide a rough insight into the way this people live. I learned a lot of new things about the impressive Sami culture.
