At our museum you will experience cultural diversity from the coast to the plains, via artefacts, photographs and non-material cultural heritage. The collection is related to trade, households, religion, duodji\/handicrafts and pictorial art, with their origins throughout all of S\u00e1pmi (S\u00e1miland). The Preservation Unit works on conservation and with the preservation of traditional technology and terminology. S\u00e1mi cultural heritage conservation is a professional discipline at RDM. RDM also has administrative tasks in connection with the export of S\u00e1mi art and cultural objects from Norway. It also works actively to ensure the repatriation of cultural artefacts that have previously been taken out of S\u00e1pmi.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-6538 size-medium\" style=\"font-size: 1rem;\" src=\"https:\/\/rdm.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Skjermbilde-2020-02-01-kl.-23.34.21-293x300.png\" alt=\"Map of finnmark, numbers 1 to 4 where the museums are\" width=\"293\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rdm.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Skjermbilde-2020-02-01-kl.-23.34.21-293x300.png 293w, https:\/\/rdm.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Skjermbilde-2020-02-01-kl.-23.34.21-1001x1024.png 1001w, https:\/\/rdm.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Skjermbilde-2020-02-01-kl.-23.34.21-768x785.png 768w, https:\/\/rdm.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Skjermbilde-2020-02-01-kl.-23.34.21.png 1332w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 293px) 100vw, 293px\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-6535 size-medium\" style=\"font-size: 1rem;\" src=\"https:\/\/rdm.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Skjermbilde-2020-02-01-kl.-23.34.55-227x300.png\" alt=\"Map for Norway. sweeden and Finland.
