Apie

Greiti faktai: The building itself tunnels under the ground to protect exhibits from harsh Arctic winters, with a glass corridor stretching 300 meters like a giant frozen caterpillar. Inside, you can watch the northern lights dance overhead on a 4K screen while standing in a thermal-heated room designed to feel like a cozy wooden hut.

Akcentai: A 172-meter glass tube acts as an indoor street that channels the sun's path, flooding the underground galleries with natural light even when temperatures outside drop to -40°C. The museum's "SnowChange" exhibit lets you step into a replica of a 1950s Lapland home, then walk through a full-scale recreation of a modern Arctic research station to see how daily life has transformed in just one generation.
