Espace des Mondes Polaires

Espace des Mondes Polaires is a museum in Prémanon dedicated to Arctic and Antarctic environments. The exhibits feature interactive displays about climate, wildlife, and the conditions found in extreme polar landscapes.

The museum documents French scientific research in polar areas through collections from expeditions and discoveries in extreme environments. Its history shows how researchers expanded understanding of these distant regions.

The center displays objects and documents that show how indigenous peoples from polar regions lived and what traditions mattered to them. These collections help visitors understand the daily practices of communities in extreme environments.

The museum is easily accessible and open daily, allowing visitors to arrive at various times throughout the day. The space is well-marked, and you have plenty of time to explore the interactive exhibits.

The facility includes an indoor ice rink where visitors can skate year-round and experience conditions similar to polar regions. This unusual combination makes the place more than just an exhibit space.
