Immersive Exhibitions about the Arctic

The Arktikum Science Centre popularizes Arctic research and science through exhibitions, school programmes and public events.

Arctic Opposites is the permanent exhibition at the science centre, which takes visitors from the twilight and blizzards of the dark to a summer full of light, colour and sound.

The science centre also hosts several temporary exhibitions each year.
