Parka coats can be found in wardrobes around the world, but did you know that parkas originated in the Arctic?

The word ‘parka’ – describing a kind of warm winter coat with a hood – derives from the Nenets language (the Indigenous Peoples of Northwest Siberia).

Not only do the Nenets live with severely cold temperatures in the high Arctic, but they also travel thousands of kilometers on sleds and snow mobiles with their reindeer – for them, parkas are absolutely essential.

Amber Lincoln, curator of our #ArcticExhibition, explores how Arctic parkas are made, how they keep you warm, and what their designs signify – read her blog via the link in our bio.
