year)
This well-presented frontier museum, 1km from Kirkenes centre, illustrates the geography
and culture of the border region, with special displays on WWII and mining. Within it, the
Savio collection
displays the distinctive woodblock prints of local Sami artist John A Sa-
vio (1902-38), whose works evoke the tension between indigenous life and the forces of
nature.
Gabba Reindeer & Husky Park
ZOO
(Sandnesdalen 14; adult/child Nkr300/50; 10am-3pm Jun-Sep)
This may not be so much of a treat for the children if you've been driving in Eastern Fin-
nmark and have stopped to relate to communing roadside reindeer. But it's worth the visit
if you've just rolled in on the Hurtigruten; they'll enjoy petting the huskies too.
