Deep in the Arctic

My Arctic discovery is a new interactive attraction at the London Children’s Museum. Open to the public since June 2011, this exhibition plunges visitors deep into the Arctic, where they discover its landscape, culture, and wildlife.

Experience life in the Arctic as you crawl through an igloo and end up in a modern Inuit home. Open the fridge and see if Inuit kids like the same foods you do!

An ingenious system

Distributed throughout various interactive areas, the modules produced by EXPOSITION TCD are all smoothly rounded as if worn down by the Arctic winds. Plywood frameworks are covered with hot-rolled laminated graphic panels to preserve the impeccable images for years to come, while coloured vinyl edgings hug the sinuous contours.

The safety of visitors is assured by an ingenious anchoring and bracing system attaching the components firmly to the ground; this system is completely hidden from view so as not to spoil the visual experience.
