National Nordic Museum

The National Nordic Museum honors Denmark, Norway, Finland, Sweden, and Iceland's history and culture. The museum also ties the culture to the US, particularly the Pacific Northwest, where tens of thousands of Nordic immigrants have lived.

The museum is located near Salmon Bay and the Ballard Locks on the south end of the Ballard neighborhood. On the first floor, there are frequently rotating exhibits, while on the second floor, there is a permanent "Nordic Journeys" display. From native Sámi people through Vikings, reform, World War II, and modern innovations, this multi-room museum covers the origins of the Nordic area. The Nordic footprint in the Pacific Northwest is a crucial part of the Nordic Journey exhibit. Nordic immigrants contributed to the development of Seattle and the surrounding region, and in the meantime, they found a second home with landscapes comparable to their homeland. Every inch of the exhibit is illustrated by the museum's collection of over 80,000 artifacts.
