Kultala in Ivalojoki, Protected museum building in Inari, Finland.
The Kultala museum sits along the River Ivalojoki at an elevation of 340 meters, displaying artifacts from Finland's northern gold mining history.
During the late 19th century, Kultala functioned as a central point for gold mining operations in the Ivalojoki region of Finnish Lapland.
The museum exhibits document the daily routines and equipment of Finnish gold miners who worked in extreme conditions searching for precious metals.
Visitors can reach Kultala through a 22-kilometer hiking trail that includes hanging bridges and well-marked paths with kilometer indicators.
The building maintains its original structural elements while offering modern facilities such as rental huts and outdoor fireplaces for overnight stays.
