The Aikamatka exhibition in Utajärvi’s market place tells the story of the birth of the Rokua UNESCO Global Geopark landscape, from the first stages of bedrock development to the last ice age, the creation of ridge formations and the spread of human settlement and biota in the region after the ice age.
In the Utajärvi exhibition, you can learn about the development and history of the Rokua ridge and dune area in particular. The actual main structure of the exhibition is formed by a cylinder-shaped timeline, which describes the moments of creation of the key landscape features of the Rokua Geopark area. Inside the cylinder, with the help of virtual glasses, you can also experience past landscapes from, for example, the times of ancient mountains and the Stone Age.
The Time Travel exhibition can be found in every municipality in the Rokua Geopark area, in Muhos, Utajärvi and Vaala, each of which specializes in presenting the birth story of the landscape of its own neighborhood.
Utajärvi market place exhibitions are open in summer according to the opening hours of the 4H ice cream kiosk downstairs.
Check the opening hours of the kiosk on the website of Utajärvi 4H.
