The Citi exhibition Arctic: culture and climate 28 May – 23 August 2020   The idea of the Arctic as a pristine, empty, icy world is romantic, but it leaves out the vibrant and varied cultures that have called the region home for millennia. Archaeological findings have shown Paleolithic hunters occupying north eastern Siberia 30,000 years ago – these early Arctic inhabitants led rich lives, using the available resources in innovative ways. Today, four million people live in the Arctic, but climate change is putting unprecedented pressure on Arctic Peoples and threatening their way of life.  Learn more about the challenges facing Arctic communities in our curator's blog › Book now and save up to 20% on tickets – early bird offer must end this month.   Lead supporter Citi Supported by  Julie and Stephen Fitzgerald AKO Foundation
