The Arctic - While the Ice is Melting opened recently at the Nordiska museet in Stockholm, Sweden. This very urgent large-scale immersive exhibition is designed by Award-winning designers Sofia Hedman and Serge Martynov of MUSEEA.
The Nordiska museet's Great Hall has been given over to the life and changing conditions of the Arctic region. In The Arctic – While the Ice Is Melting, visitors encounter the history and future of the ice, and the 4 million people that live in one of the regions of the world where climate change is most noticeable. Occupying over 2,000 square meters, the exhibition is a result of a close collaboration between the Nordiska museet, 40 researchers and experts from around the polar area and the exhibition designers. The exhibition will be open for three years.
Award-winning designers Sofia Hedman and Serge Martynov of MUSEEA designed this grand exhibition. Occupying over 2,000 square meters, the exhibition is a result of a close collaboration between the Nordiska Museet, 40 researchers and experts from around the polar area and the exhibition designers. The exhibition will run for approximately three years, and there will be an extensive program of seminars and workshops for the public.
“This is one of the most important exhibitions that we have designed”, says Sofia Hedman. “The climate crisis is a critical issue that concerns us all. With our design, we want the visitor to have a powerful and immersive experience, but at the same time feel that we must all come together and act now. Especially politicians and those in power.”
