Start of Sámi German museum collaboration

The Sámi Museum Association, represented by the Norwegian Museum Association, has initiated a project to survey Sámi collections in German museums, link collections with artefact-specific living knowledge, and enhance the competence and cooperation in both German and Sámi museums. The project is facilitated and funded by the Norwegian Parliament through the Sámi Parliament. Museum Europäischer Kulturen constitutes a close initial partner, but other collections and museums will be included in the project. It will run from 15 October 2021 to 15 October 2026.
