Juhls Silver Gallery, Kautokeino

Went to Juhls Silver Gallery in the Sami village Kautokeino today. Have to drive 120 km in wonderful nature to get there. Juhls is a fascinating place in so many ways. The arcitecture is very special as you can see and the surroundings as well. You don't go there if you are in a hurry. There is so much to see. Inside the gallery you will find painting, mosaics, silver jewelry and a collection of Sami daily life things from the good old days.

 

There were no roads when Regine and Frank Juhls started to build this gallery and there were no tourists. They had to row over the river and carry all the building materials up a steep hill.
