Arktikum Science Centre and Museum

Arktikum is a science center and museum that lets you experience northern nature, culture, and history up close. What causes the Northern Lights? What was Rovaniemi like in the early 1900s? Find out in Arktikum!

Housing the University of Lapland’s Arctic Center and the Regional Museum of Lapland, we stimulate thought, encourage debate, and provide a deeper understanding of the Arctic.

KINDLY NOTE: The science centre exhibition at Arktikum is being renewed from April 1st to December 5th, 2024. Welcome to explore the new exhibition “Arctic Opposites” starting December 6th, 2024! The Regional Museum of Lapland exhibition in Arktikum is open as usual.
