– Naturum functions as a gateway to nature. In a nature center you can learn more about animals and plants in the surrounding nature and about the geology and cultural history that shaped the area, says Linda Sörnäs, who coordinates the country’s nature center at the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency.
The first nature rooms were often simple, but have today developed into advanced and interactive exhibitions with guides who tell about the nature in the area. They are often found at national parks and other protected areas from Abisko in the north to Öresund in the south.
Naturum is organized by the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency and has a total of 1.7 million visitors each year.
