About The museum- closed until Oct 2023

The Museum of Northern Peoples works with documentation and communication of regional Sami culture and contemporary history in particular, and northern people’s art and cultural expressions in general. The museum’s most important tasks are collection, documentation and dissemination. Communication takes place through our basic exhibition mii, temporary exhibitions in the museum gallery, digital dissemination and through direct meetings with the audience.

The basic exhibition - mii

The basic exhibition mii gives an insight into the sea sami culture in northern Troms and central Troms, focusing on thematic main features; cultural history, religion, duodji, politics and business practice, all that reflects identity design and living in the region. mii contains cultural and contemporary objects, and interactive displays, where relevant movie clips, images and text give the audience the opportunity to immerse themselves in the themes. Contemporary art by local artists is part of the exhibition.

A shithole of a shack

This historic house is known as both Sjåbakkenhuset (Sjåbakken’s house) and Sjit helvedes kåken (can be translated to a shithole of a shack) and has these two names for good reasons.

A man by the name Anton Sjåbakken lived in this house after coming back home after the 2nd World War. His original home, like the other houses in the Manndalen, had been burnt down by the Germans during the 2nd World War, in 1944.

Price: 100 NOK
