Mission The Nordic Museum shares Nordic culture with people of all ages and backgrounds by exhibiting art and objects, preserving collections, providing educational and cultural experiences, and serving as a community gathering place. Vision The Nordic Museum is an internationally recognized museum and cultural center where people of all backgrounds are welcomed to be inspired by the values, traditions, art, and spirit of the Nordic peoples. The Nordic Museum is housed in a 57,000 sq. ft., purpose-built facility, which includes an interactive and immersive core exhibition, two classrooms, a craft studio, and a state-of-the art auditorium. Visiting exhibitions is presented in a dynamic 3,700 sq. ft. gallery, designed to accommodate world-class exhibitions from the national galleries of the Nordic countries. An additional 2,500 sq. ft. of climate-controlled storage allows for appropriate stewardship of our important and expanding collection of art and objects. The new museum opens May 5, 2018.
