Sights
Combination tickets are available for the three major sights: Arktikum, Pilke Tiedekeskus
and Rovaniemen Taidemuseo.
Arktikum
MUSEUM
Jun-Aug & Dec-mid-Jan, 10am-6pm Tue-Sun mid-Jan-May & Sep-Nov)
With its beautifully designed glass tunnel stretching out to the Ounasjoki, this is one of
Finland's best museums and well worth the admission fee if you are interested in the north.
One side deals with Lapland, with information on Sámi culture and the history of
Rovaniemi. The other side offers a wide-ranging display on the Arctic, with superb static
and interactive displays focusing on flora and fauna, as well as on the peoples of Arctic
Europe, Asia and North America.
There's a research library here if you want to learn more, as well as a good lunch res-
taurant. There's an audiovisual - basically a pretty slide show - downstairs on constant
loop.
Pilke Tiedekeskus
MUSEUM
Mon-Fri, 10am-6pm Sat & Sun Jun-Aug & mid-Dec-mid-Jan, closed Mon rest of year)
