What to expect
Arktikum is a museum and science centre that showcases northern nature, cultures, and history in a unique environment. The museum features exhibitions on the Arctic, including the mystery of the Northern Lights, and explores concepts such as human life in tune with nature. The building itself is a notable feature, with a glass corridor and exhibition space sheltered below the ground, mimicking the way animals in the North take cover from the harsh winter. The museum also has a cafe and library, and offers guided exhibition tours. Families can enjoy learning about the life in the North and the Arctic environment, making it a great place to visit with children
