Sámi Cultural Centre Sajos
Sajos
Home of the Finnish Sámi Parliament, this flowing timber building houses a Sámi craft shop, a library and cultural events.
Sajos opened in 2012 and is home to the Finnish Sámi Parliament and other Sámi cultural institutions. The building is clad in wood and its floor plan resembles a reindeer. It regularly hosts Sámi music festivals, film festivals and craft exhibitions. Public areas are free to visit and include a Sámi craft shop selling silverwork, weaving and bone carvings, a library and a restaurant. Located in the centre of Inari village, it is a five-minute walk from the Siida Museum, so the two make a good pair.
Opening hours
