The museum specialises in Sámi culture and serves as a national responsibility museum. Its main permanent exhibition was made together with Metsähallitus, and the open-air museum presents the cultural heritage, built heritage and livelihoods of Finland's Sámi. Changing exhibitions include a joint show with Kiasma on contemporary Sámi art, and the museum also hosts public talks and book launches.
There is a museum shop and the Sarrit café-restaurant. A Metsähallitus service point answers questions about hiking and the outdoors. The car park, entrance and toilet are wheelchair accessible.
