Discover the everyday life in the Arctic, the lifestyles of northern peoples, and the challenges facing the region. Arktikum is located in Rovaniemi, close to the polar circle.
The Arktikum Science Centre offers visitors a unique opportunity to learn about the Arctic. We encourage learning about the Arctic and promote the appreciation of scientific knowledge in society.
Opening in December 6, 2024 the Arctic Opposites exhibition is an immersive science-based exhibition inviting visitors to discover life in the Arctic and the specific features of the area.
From icy polar deserts to green tundra grasslands and boreal forests, from urban living to nomadic reindeer herding and from northern lights to nightless nights – the Arctic is one of the most fascinating areas in the world.
The Arctic Opposites exhibition offers the visitors a voyage through the uniqueness and beauty of the Arctic and raises awareness on how globalisation and climate change are challenging the region’s social, cultural, economic, and environmental sustainability.
The content relies on Arctic research and science-based information to approach the Arctic in its environmental and cultural diversity. This approach will provide keys to a better understanding of the Arctic and its global dimensions.
