This space holds a guitar similar to the one Keith Richards used to play the Honky Tonk Women riff. And here's one like the one Eric Clapton used for his solo in Layla. And the kind that Jimi Hendrix set on fire in Monterrey. But how in the world did these and hundreds more rare and priceless guitars from the 1950s and 1960s end up in Umea and become Guitars - The Museum? Why aren't they hanging in the MoMA in New York, or in the Tate Modern in London? This is the story of how the Ahden twins from Vannasby managed to put together the world's finest collection of vintage guitars surreptitiously, almost in secret. Guided tours 12.00, 15.00 & 17.00.
I wasn't sure I wanted to go, as I feared looking at a bunch of guitars would be boring (no matter how old and unique they were). I finally went as my airbnb host insisted that it was something not to miss. I was pleasantly surprised: I arrived in time for the guided tour, and got a glimpse of the crazy stories around some of these guitars, thanks to a very knowledgeable guide. Never got bored. Even if you're not passionate about guitars, I would recommend a visit!

An absolute gem of a venue. The museum itself offers a great range of exhibits and a great insight into Sami life, culture and history as well as information about the Norbotten and Laponia region and history. The staff are wonderful, well informed, friendly and speak excellent Swedish, English and also Sami. They attached restaurant offers some great meals including local delicacies. The gift shop is one of the best (in terms of goods and prices) in the area. As a regional guide, I frequently take groups to this museum and often book the 'guided tour' that is available. I would highly recommend this, there is a charge, but with a group of 7+ it is only very slightly more expensive than the standard entrance fee, so is well worth it! The venue is also great for kids!

It is a small open air museum. We were there during the Samisk veckan (the sami week) in march and they had activities and real reindeer on the premises :) Thanks to a recent snowfall and perfect blue sky it was a great day to visit the museum. The museum building also houses some interesting collections and exhibitions about the region.
