Current climate change occupies the minds of many, but how is it different from previous changes in the global climate and other environmental change? The exhibition takes you from the past to the future, observing how humans have influenced northern nature since prehistoric times.

The focus is on the latest ice ages, against which the consequences of ongoing climate change are reflected. The exhibition encourages visitors to consider the changes that can be expected in our natural environment, as well as ways in which we can prevent and adapt to future threats. The stars of the story are the losers of the last great climate change – the woolly mammoth, the cave lion and the Irish elk.
