Lonely Planet review

The Sami National Museum is also called the Sami Collection. Smaller and more serious than Sápmi Park, it's been rather upstaged by the genial razzamatazz down the road. Devoted to Sami history and culture, it has displays of colourful, traditional Sami clothing, a bewildering array of tools and artefacts and works by contemporary Sami artists. Outdoors, a homestead reveals the simplicity of traditional Sami life.

Signing is only in Norwegian and Sami and the English guide sheet is difficult to follow.
