Activities, experiences and accommodation

The Arctic Museum Nanoq was inaugurated in June 1991 in Jakobstad (Pietarsaari) in Finland and is the first Arctic museum in Europe. Nanoq displays the Arctic and Antarctica, as well as surrounding areas and is a tribute to the cultures of the last Arctic peoples. Over the years the museum has grown to become a vibrant Arctic cultural centre, which is visited annually by thousands of guests from all over the world.

At Nanoq you can get acquainted with Arctic peoples, cultures and customs, and hear exciting stories from famous expeditions to the North and South Pole. The museum area is situated in the middle of the forest and consists of different cottages that have been built over the years.

Finns are known for their sauna culture and here at Nanoq, we offer the opportunity to rent a smoke sauna. The smoke sauna can accommodate about 15 people. There is a large changing room and rinsing facilities. The sauna has a large veranda where you can cool off and enjoy the tranquillity of nature.
