The Arc

Project Purpose

The Svalbard Global Seed Vault, the Arctic World Archive and Svalbard's geological history each contain a vast number of fascinating stories, but these stories are largely inaccessible to the public, wrapped inside fossil layers and stored deep within the permafrost vaults. The purpose of this project is to bring these stories to life through a series of interactive exhibits in a building that enhance the experience and facilitate new knowledge, reflection and contemplation.
