The world’s only international Gold Museum
Tankavaara is home for the only international museum in the world displaying past and present of gold panning and prospecting.

Today, Gold Museum is run by the private Gold Museum Foundation.

The international exhibition Golden World takes you on a journey around the world to discover the gold traditions of more than 20 countries, from ancient Rome to the Klondike.

From a conference: The California gold rush was a consumer event

During the California gold rush, however, these things were very much a part of life. In the 21st Maple Leaf and Eagle conference held in Helsinki, Gold Museum’s project coordinator Niko…

Hyvää Evertin päivää! // Happy Evert's day!
Tänään on Evertin nimipäivä. Lapin kultahistoriassa kyseisellä nimellä on erityinen merkitys, sillä suurin koskaan Lapista löytynyt hippu sai nimen löytäjänsä Evert Kiviniemen mukaan. 392,9 gramman painoinen hippu löytyi vuonna 1935.
Today is the name day of Evert. In Lapland's gold history, this name has a special meaning. The biggest nugget found in Lapland got its name from its finder, Evert Kiviniemi. The 392,9 gram nugget was found in 1935.

*Emme voi taata että ihan näin isoja hippuja löytyy, mutta etsintähän on se suola, eikö? 😎
Tourists taking part in Gold Museum's gold panning tour got a pleasant start to their trip, as they found the biggest gold flake of the summer season. Panning tours run Monday to Friday at 1pm until 16.10., plenty of time to try your luck.
*We can't guarantee you'll find flakes this big, but the
search is the reward, right? 😎

Syyskuun esine: parranajovälinelaatikko
Object of September: shave kit box
Kultahistorian kuvissa monilla miehistä on muhkea parta tai viikset. Kullankaivajat pitivät ja pitävät yleensä hyvää huolta naamakasvustostaan. Näin teki aikoinaan myös Niilo ”Nipa” Raumala. Oheisesta ilmeisesti hänelle kuuluneesta parranajovälinelaatikosta löytyy erilaisia tykötarpeita.
In the pictures of Lapland gold history, you can often see men with voluminous beard or moustache. However, gold prospectors took and take care of their facial hair. So did one legendary prospector Niilo “Nipa” Raumala whose shave kit included necessary equipment.
