Gold Prospector Museum, gold panning

The best souvenir is gold that you pan. For the winter we reserve loads of auriferous sand in the indoor panning site of the Gold Prospector Museum for those who visit the museum during the winter months. Tankavaara is home for the only international museum in the World displaying past and present of gold panning and prospecting. The new basic exhibition presents the history of gold prospecting in Lapland. The Golden World, the international section, presents more than twenty countries all over the World.
