Did you know that the Finnish language has over 100 words for snow? Why don’t the polar bears eat penguins? How many seasons are there in Lapland? Paint Auroras in the sky, create a blizzard and recognize the sweet smell of spruce sprouts.

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.

Please note that the science centre exhibitions are on two floors.
