4.5Skolt Sámi Heritage House(5 reviews) - A free open-air museum Spent < 1 hour Speciality Museums • Points of Interest & Landmarks • History Museums
Skolt Sámi Heritage House and Open-Air Museum (Kolttien talo) are situated in the center of Sevettijärvi Village. The admission is free. The Heritage House was built in the late 1940's and it was moved to the premises from Lake Kirakkajärvi in the 1990's. It is a typical example of a Skolt Sámi homestead. The Heritage House has limited opening hours but it is possible to visit the interesting open-air museum in other times, too. This is a very charming and interesting place. I especially loved the root-sewn boat made of pinewood without any nails. It was built using root seams and wooden tenons.See more..

Vi såg en sevärdhetsskylt och svängde in utan att veta vad det var. Visade sig vara någon form av hembygdsmuseum med ett antal byggnader med lite olika inriktningar och inredning. Vi betalade ett billigt inträde och eftersom vi var de enda besökarna ställde alla 3 guiderna (ungdomar) upp och följde med runt och berättade på en blandning av engelska, svenska och teckenspråk. Heder åt dessa ungdomar som gjorde vad de kunde och lite till. Att stanna till här och titta en stund kan rekommenderas.See more..
