  Visited the Artikum during your visit to Rovaniemi. Much of the earlier life, as it played in northern Scandinavia, is to be viewed here. Our Dutch guide Frank, who lives in Rovaniemi, knew a lot about both the Sami (rags) culture and their life around the Arctic Circle as well as the changes on the North Pole. The building is also special.

  It's a well recommended museum, not much to see to me, but still. The garden/park you can see all around it is straight gorgeous though, I would visit it again 100/100!

  Incredibly neat museum! Tons of interesting information about culture, climate, geology, history, you name it! Exhibits were all fascinating and well put together. Staff is very friendly and the gift shop was nice. The architecture is absolutely top-notch too. If you're in the area, this is a must-see
