Why visit Nanoq?
Google reviews
A truly unique and fascinating museum experience that offers a clear and concrete insight into the traditional way of life of people in the Arctic region under harsh natural conditions.
Tapio
A gem in the middle of the forest, close to the seashore. A place without equal. Well worth a visit – call ahead to make sure it is open. A private and rare open-air museum.
Natalia
A genuinely very interesting place! I have not encountered anything like it elsewhere in Finland. The staff were knowledgeable and friendly, and the site is also an enjoyable place for children.
