The Rock art of Alta (Helleristningene i Alta) are located in and around the municipality of Alta in the county of Finnmark in northern Norway. Since the first carvings were discovered in 1972 more than 6000 carvings have been found on several sites around Alta. The largest locality at Jiepmaluokta about 4 kilometres outside of Alta contains many thousand individual carvings and has been turned into an open-air museum.
