Coming soon: Giants of the Ice Age
Heureka, the Finnish Science Centre, Vantaa
- 8.2.2025–1.9.2026
The new exhibition Giants of the Ice Age opens at Heureka 8.2.2025.
Travel 14,000 years back in time with us!
The Giants of the Ice Age-exhibition is set at the end of the last Ice Age (120,000–11,000 years ago). During the Ice Age, nature was dominated by large mammals, such as woolly mammoths, woolly rhinoceroses and saber-toothed cats, with which humans lived side by side. 14,000 years ago, modern humans had already inhabited all the continents.
The exhibition is divided into four geographical areas, Finland, Europe and Eurasia, North America and South America. The exhibition shows what the nature of the last Ice Age looked like in different parts of the world, and what kind of animal species lived in different areas.
Almost twenty life-size animal robots await the visitor at the exhibition - including a mammoth and a saber-toothed cat!
