The photographer Torbjørn Jakobsson at Vesterbottens Kurieren in Umeå has followed a young family of reindeer herders for a full year. Through the slaughter of animals in the autumn, moving of the herd across land in winter and the branding of new calves come spring, we are given a unique insight into a culture and lifestyle that few are familiar with.

The travelling exhibition from Kiel Maritime Museum in Germany will be displayed for the first time in Norway at Nordkappmuseet in Honningsvåg. Opning June, 8th.

The wide-ranging exhibition invites visitors to join a fascinating journey through time covering 150 years of German tourists in Norway. All the information is also available in English.
