Lapland's traditions
Museums show us how people have lived throughout the ages. Data
collection, research and expertise are also parts of museums' job
description, in addition to exhibitions. Museums together with
various officials and the National Board of Antiquities are the
preservation authority of antiquities, building heritage and
environments valuable due to their cultural history.
