Removed from Unnamed collection

Arktikum, nestled in the heart of Rovaniemi, is a fascinating science center and museum where you can truly get up close and personal with the wonders of northern nature, culture, and history. It's home to the University of Lapland’s Arctic Center and the Regional Museum of Lapland, making it a hub for anyone curious about the Arctic. With its engaging exhibits, Arktikum invites you to ponder, discuss, and gain a deeper insight into the Arctic world.

The exhibitions take you on a captivating journey through Finnish Lapland and the Arctic region. Spanning the history of Finnish Lapland from Rovaniemi to Upper Lapland, you'll travel from prehistoric times right up to the 1970s. The Arctic region is explored with a keen eye on current and future Arctic research. These exhibitions offer a thorough overview of Lapland's rich history and culture, alongside cutting-edge Arctic knowledge.

One of the standout features of Arktikum is its stunning architecture. The building's glass corridor, called the "Gateway to the North," allows natural light to flood in, offering a panoramic view of the surrounding landscape. It's a picturesque spot to pause and reflect on the incredible journey through time and space that Arktikum provides. Whether you're a history buff, a science enthusiast, or just looking for an interesting way to spend an afternoon, Arktikum has something for everyone.
