This museum has a diverse collection of industrial and historical memorabilia (and even local school projects) from this region, the Sør-Varanger Kommune. The museum's centerpiece is the story of the Sami people who inhabit this border region, or "the land without borders" as the narrative calls it. It chronicles the arrival of outsiders who divided this region into 4 countries (Norway, Sweden, Finland, and Russia), then brought war to it. Also included in this area are some exhibits about World War II, the Nazi occupation, and the Soviet invasion at the end of the war.
Co-located with this museum is a collection of artwork from John Savio (1902-1938), a Sami artist from the region.
Admission is NOK 40. The museum also has a small cafeteria that serves very nice waffles (NOK 15).

As you enter Kirkenes from the west, you'll be greeted by a lake and fountain. While it's not exactly Lake Geneva or the Jet d'Eau, it's quite nice nonetheless. If I'm not being immodest, I suppose you could consider me a veritable fountain of knowledge about this. Directions: Just off the E6 as you enter Kirkenes from the west. Lake and fountain will be on the right.

You can also visit the russian frontier and even go on daytrips to Russia. Pasvikdalen is a beautiful valley where many different companies offer daytrips or longer stays. Leave a Comment

A short taxi ride from Kirkenes will get you to the Russian border. Across two chain-link fences is a tumble-down hut marked with Cyrillic letters.
On the other side is the Russian village of Boris Gleb, a collection of three- story houses climbing up a steep hillside and a small power station that seems to justify their existance. Leave a Comment

The reason to go all the way far north is because of the nature of course, and the Neiden River is one of the attractions here. Leave a Comment
