WELCOME, TAKE A STEP IN TO
OUR ART SUITE

Maighdeann-ròin, or ”Selkie”, is a Celtic/Scottish legend about a shapeshifter – half woman and half seal. In the story she gets taken hostage by a man who steals her seal coat so that she can’t return to the sea.

It’s a magical, beautiful and sad story that taps into today’s suppression of women, and the constant fight for freedom and equality. It doesn’t matter how old or young you are – in this suite there’s something for everyone. Secrets and messages are hidden everywhere in a mix of snow sculptures, glittering ice, music and a bittersweet story that plays out the moment you step inside the room.
