11.) Museum presents
Arctic art, life and culture, stretching from Siberia to Greenland and
including expeditions to the North Pole and the South Pole.
22.) Pentti Kronqvist
(born 1938) is the creator of the Nanoq Museum. He has participated in several
journeys and expeditions to the Arctic, there among Greenland, Svalbard and
Spitzbergen and the Russian Ice Sea coast.
33.) Pentti Kronqvist
built eight cottages in Fäboda between years 1956 and 1983. The first house he
built the Bear's Lair (Björnidet). People became interested in this unique
village in the middle of the forest, and soon it was a popular attraction. Now Nanoq
gets 8,000 - 10,000 visitors from all over the world.

With
the help of donations and voluntary work, the museum opened its doors in May
1991, after thousands of hours of work. Today there are seven more buildings in
the area in addition to the main building and the Bear's Lair, built over the
years. 5) Arctic museum in Nanoq is unique because it’s always more interesting to hear the real story. Tours through the museum are guided by experienced people who love their job. Every minute you feel respect for them and their experiences, memories and stories they have brought from expeditions. It was really impressive to meet them!
