Nanoq Artic Museum

The Arctic Museum Nanoq is situated in Faboda,  7 km from the city centre of Pietarsaari. Nanoq means polar bear in the Greenland language.

The building project began in 1988 by the association Nanuk r.f.and the creator Pentti Kronqvist, but it opened its doors in May 1991. It all started in Faboda, where Pentti kronqvist built eight cottages.
Every year Nanoq gets 8,000-10,000 visitors from all over the world. The museum presenst Arctic art, life and culture, stretching from Siberia to Greenland and including expeditions to the North Pole and the South Pole. The museum also has an extensive collection of Arctic books andDVDs.
This place was amazing, all the sculpture were unique  and the staff available and prepared, moreover it was exciting seeing a real polar bear, Eskimo’s houses and learning the story of that  culture.
