This interactive exhibition brings together different stories about the northern lights and its magical qualities. This is an interactive exhibition with unique and atmospheric experiences based on Sami myths about the northern lights. The exhibition is tailormade for the Northern Light City of Alta, as since year 2000, has been named the city of the Northern Lights. This is because of the historical importance Alta has had in developing knowledge about the phenomenon and the good conditions for experiencing the Northern Lights. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We have gathered science and myths in a center that will be both a support and an attraction in itself. BorealisAlta is located in the Northern Lights Cathedral, the new church of Alta that has already become a well known icon and symbol of the town. The church combines spiritual and natural elements in its design and artwork.  The acclaimed company Explogy, working with experience design, has been given the task of developing the attraction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/visitalta.no\/content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/20180228_121829-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Nordlys Borealis Alta\" class=\"wp-image-486\" srcset=\"https:\/\/visitalta.no\/content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/20180228_121829-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/visitalta.no\/content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/20180228_121829-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/visitalta.no\/content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/20180228_121829-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/visitalta.no\/content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/20180228_121829-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/visitalta.no\/content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/20180228_121829-1536x1536.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/visitalta.no\/content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/20180228_121829-2048x2048.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n\t\t<div class=\" alignwide wp-block-vnn-booking\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"vnn-booking__image\">\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/visitalta.no\/content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Boreal-Adventure-red-transparent-vertical.png\" alt=\"\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"vnn-booking__content\">\n\t\t\t\t\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-come-visit-us\">Come visit us! <\/h2>\n\n<p>We would love to share the northern lights with you. <\/p>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button link-to-booking-provider-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-dark-blue-background-color has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"mailto:booking.alta@boreal.no\">See more<\/a><\/div>\n\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"featured_media":1636,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_trash_the_other_posts":false,"t2_featured_media_focal_point":{"x":0.53,"y":0.69},"vnn_header_layout":"featured","vnn_header_layout_image_id":1636,"vnn_header_layout_image_focal_point_x":0.54,"vnn_header_layout_image_focal_point_y":0.74,"vnn_header_layout_description":"","vnn_header_layout_url":"","vnn_header_layout_url_text":"","vnn_header_layout_photographer":"","vnn_header_layout_video_id":"","vnn_header_layout_yt_id":"","vnn_header_layout_vimeo_id":"","teft_location_geodata_lat":69.965238,"teft_location_geodata_lng":23.267401},"season":[],"target_group":[1266,1267,1259],"supplier_type":[174],"offers_activity":[],"class_list":["post-11","supplier","type-supplier","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","target_group-localinsiderautumn","target_group-localinsidersummer","target_group-localinsiderwinter","supplier_type-experiences"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v24.5 (Yoast SEO v25.3.1) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Northern Lights Cathedral - Visit Alta - English<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/visitalta.no\/en\/supplier\/northern-lights-cathedral\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Northern Lights Cathedral\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"While various cultures have told their own stories about the aurora borealis, researchers have been looking for a scientific explanation of the phenomenon.
