The Gold Prospector Museum is the reason Tankavaara belongs on the map. It covers the Finnish Lapland gold rush and sets it beside gold rushes elsewhere, with minerals, tools, photographs, and outdoor buildings that give the subject more weight than a simple roadside curiosity would.
It works best if you give it time before trying any gold panning. The museum makes clear that Lapland gold was not a romantic shortcut to riches but cold, wet, persistent work in a very large landscape.
