Arktikum offers a journey into the Arctic world, blending a museum and science centre under one roof. Visitors walk through a 172-meter-long glass tunnel that reveals the changing seasons, then explore exhibits on northern wildlife, Sami culture, and Arctic exploration. The museum's architecture itself is a highlight, with the tunnel extending into the riverbank. Interactive displays and a planetarium make it engaging for all ages, providing a deep understanding of life in the far north.
