Arctic

 My path took me to the first of the permanent galleries in the Museum of Nature, the Arctic Gallery. This area looks at both nature and humanity in the far north, and the first thing one sees is this series of slabs of ice, with projected images on them. The slabs are replenished each night.


Beyond, colourfully framed illustrations lead the way.


Panels go into detail on the diversity of life in the far north.
