Siida is a well-curated and informative museum, an essential part of anyone's trip to the Inari area I think. I liked the focus on the Inari Sami in particular while giving a good overview into wider Sami culture and the local environment. I explored the small bit of the open air museum in the snow, although the buildings were basically closed up for the winter and much of it was inaccessible. This would be an interesting addition in the summer I think. The aurora film was fine but nothing spectacular. It's shown at 12 noon and 3pm, but not unmissable if you're visiting at a different time. I had a nice sandwich, coffee and bun in the cafe.

It is a very good museum for first timers. The history of the Sami people is presented in an easy and engaging way. The indoors museum has a rather limited number of artifacts and a lot of photographs and other multimedia. So not much authenticity there. The outside part is much more interesting and shows the living conditions of the Sami people at the end of the 19th and early 20th century

This was our first visit to Siida, and the experience was great! We enjoyed the permanent exhibition with all the historical and nature information on the region. A good 2-3 hours can be spent here getting familiar with history of the Sami culture, their traditional way of life, and the peculiarities of the Lapland nature. Highly recommendable for those who enjoy educational and informative museums; do not expect any mind-blowing special effects show.
