Finally, Sápmi, Norway and the world has a museum dedicated to Sami art! After almost 40 years of activism, acquisition, negotiation, lobbyism and stubbornness, the world of art enters a new era. A big day for Sápmi. A big day for Norway. A big day for the world.

The museum is very pleased with a busy weekend. The opening night of View From Up Here turned out great, and the artist talk was equally interesting.
