Description

Einar Wallquist (1896-1985), the "Lapp doctor" who arrived in Lapland in 1922, created this museum in 1965 in a former Sami school (1854). A craft shop now occupies the former classroom. In the basement, visitors can see the doctor's consulting room and a superb collection of Sami (Lapp) crafts including objects for daily and ritual use, and fine silver pieces. The showpiece is a magic drum. On the first floor is an exhibition of Swedish farming tools, which are very plain in comparison.
