March 26: SIIDA
The next morning, we continued on to our next engagement.
2173
At the end of the driveway to Vasatokka, looking down the continuation of the road to who knows where.
2174
A last glimpse of Vasatokka and Mutusjärvi from the road.
2177
But before we left Inari, we checked out the SIIDA museum, designed by all-around great guy Juhani Pallasmaa. It's a museum on Sámi culture and the environment of Lapland. This is the entrance.
2181
A side view.
2188
Good boat placement.
2190
A big ol' map of Lapland.
2201
Skylights.
2202
Lounge.
2205
One of the exhibit rooms. There are only a few rooms but they're all packed with information and objects. I really liked the format.
2216
Midnight sun time-lapse photo. I can't quite imagine what this is like to actually experience. Things like this at SIIDA and Arktikum, as well as of course actually being in the region, put an Arctic spell on me that is still active, and I think I'm going to have to go back and explore further.
2220
More skylights.
2248
Oh look, more skylights, but these are outside, like these others.
