The best museums Kiruna

In the basement of this large building, a museum is dedicated to the memory of the Sami people, now largely a minority in their historical territory. Objects, clothing, accessories used by this people are exhibited and a traditional Saami tent is reproduced. Only three rooms, not very large but interesting if you take the time to read the explanations in English. Thus, we will learn more about the noaidi, this priest-medic who ensured the link between the spirits and the natural world, or about Lars Nilsson, Saami martyr burned for example.

A traditional Saami camp, explaining the Saami way of life, their customs, etc. At the back of the museum, there is an enclosure where you can freely see reindeer. We will also pass by the small store that sells Sami handicrafts. You can also stay in a chalet or a tent and enjoy the typical snow sports of the region. Note that from April to early June, the reindeer graze in the mountains and are therefore not visible. Entrance is then free.
