The Stabbursnes Nature House and Museum is the northernmost national park visitor centre in Norway, 150 km south of the North Cape.

In addition to providing information on the Stabbursdalen National Park, the Stabbursnes Nature House is an information centre for the natural history and cultural heritage of the county of Finnmark in general. Its design mimics three traditional Sámi tents placed side by side. The Nature House opened in 1990 and was authorised as a national park visitor centre in 1997.

Objective
The Stabbursnes Nature House and Museum aims to provide Norwegian and foreign visitors with knowledge of the natural history and cultural heritage of the Porsanger district and the rest of Finnmark in such a way as to encourage environment-friendly attitudes, behaviour and outdoor recreational practices.
