Must See Sweden - Ájtte Museum

The welcoming and illuminating Ájtte Museum is the highlight of a visit to Jokkmokk; it gives the most thorough introduction to Sami culture anywhere in Sweden, including Sami dress, silverware and an interesting display of 400-year-old shamans' drums.

Look out for replicas of sacrificial sites, and a diagram explaining the significance of various reindeer entrails. There are extensive notes in English. The museum also has a very practical section, with information on Lappland's mountain areas, including detailed maps, slides, videos and a reference library.
