Rovaniemi is very safe. Not sure why you'd want to be up that late looking at the northern lights since it's pretty much dark 24/7 this time of year. So long as the weather is good you should see them, but I'd go further out of town to get away from ambient light. You might be lucky enough to meet some reindeer on the beach at Arktikum btw!

Why don't you call the museum and ask, they all speak excellent English in Finland. And if they don't have lockers it would be very safe anyway. The Fins are very honest and who'd want to steal your luggage and cart it somewhere anyway?
We are planning to visit on 6 December, and we understand that it also happens to Independence Day in Finland. So we are wondering if the museum will be open. Thank you
A:
According to their website it will be open daily excluding only Christmas Eve.
