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.
