The cultural and ecological exhibitions of Siida tell about how northern nature and an indigenous people, the Sámi, have adapted to life in extreme conditions. By bringing their knowledge and skills together, the Sámi Museum and the Northern Lapland Nature Centre have created an information package that focuses on the seasonal cycle of the North and becomes an unforgettable experience for the visitor.
The introductory exhibition describes how nature and culture have evolved from the times of the Ice Age to the present.
The main exhibition introduces the visitor to the special features of life in the North through following the rhythm of the seasons.
