  • “Ghosts in the Background” and “The Price of the War” Representations of the Lapland War in Finnish Museums
    Nordisk Museologi 2016 • 2, s. 60–77 “Ghosts in the background” and “The price of the war” Representations of the Lapland War in Finnish museums Suzie Thomas & Eerika Koskinen-Koivisto Abstract: Museums decide which events and perspectives to privilege over others in their exhibitions. In the context of “difficult” or “dark” histories – in which the subject matter might be painful, controversial or in some other way challenging for one or more community or interest groups to reconcile with – some events may be marginalized or ignored. This may also happen due to official narratives diverting attention to other events that have come to be seen as more “important” or worthy of discussion. We explore the ways that information about the Lapland War (1944–1945) is incorporated into permanent exhibitions at five Finnish museums: the Provincial Museum of Lapland; Siida – the National Museum of the Finnish Sámi; the Gold Prospector Museum; the Military Museum of Finland; and the Finnish Airforce Museum. Despite the significant social and environmental upheavals brought about by the brief but destructive conflict, it seems surprisingly rarely addressed.1 Keywords: Dark heritage, dark tourism, difficult histories, exhibition analysis, Second World War, Lapland War, Sámi heritage, military history. Over the past few decades, interest has immaterial legacies of the Second World War, noticeably increased in “dark” or “difficult” how visitors experience them, and the strategies history, heritage and tourism. This has impacted employed to commemorate, preserve or curate academic research, in which we have seen sites connected to this conflict heritage (e.g. areas of study emerge such as “dark tourism” Moshenska 2015).
