Gold Museum was founded in 1973 by gold prospector’s to research and preserve the history of gold prospecting and gold panning in Finnish Lapland from the 19th century to the present day. Today, Gold Museum is run by the private Gold Museum Foundation.
The main exhibition, The History of Gold in Lapland, introduces you to 150 years of gold prospecting in Lapland, starting with the Ivalojoki gold rush in 1869.

When thinking about a gold rush or gold miners, the first things that come to mind are perhaps not Parisian perfumes, champagne or bowling. 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…

Kesäkauden suurin hippu! / Biggest gold find of the season!

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.

FI/ENG Kultakentillä on historiassa käytetty vaikka minkälaisia esineitä vaskooleina, tynnyrinpohjista lautasiin. Kultamuseon huuhdontatyöpajassa opit erilaisista välineistä ja saat kokeilla huuhdontaa ihan oikealla vaskoolilla, todennäköisesti paremmin tuloksin kuin me videolla. Kullankaivajan aloituspakkaus arkisin klo 13, aina 16.10. asti.
Across history the most imaginative objects have been used for gold panning, from barrel bottoms to plates. At our gold washing tour, you'll learn about different tools and get to use a proper gold pan. You'll probably find more gold than we did in the video. Gold Prospector's starter pack from Monday to Friday, 1pm, until 16th of October.
Kultamuseon näyttelyiden siimeksestä löytyy muun muassa tällainen kahvipaketti, kullankaivajan mökin hyllyltä. Johanna-kahvi tuli markkinoille vuonna 1950, kun kahvi oli vielä "kortilla". Johannaa mainostettiin ahkerasti SOK:in toimesta, esimerkiksi Kulta Katriinan rinnalla. Lapin kultakentillekin sitä varmasti päätyi, ahkerien kahvinjuojien herkuksi.
Nyt kun kahvi on likipitäen kultaakin arvokkaampaa, ehkäpä Kultamuseon pitäisi lanseerata oma kahvi. Laitetaanko nimeksi Johanna, vai kenties Petronella 🤔
