The event we've all been waiting for is finally here! On May 5, the new Nordic Museum is officially opening its doors.
What can you expect from our celebratory weekend?
VIP guests from the US and the Nordic countries; traditional and contemporary Nordic music and dancing; festivities lasting all weekend long; and of course, the opportunity to experience all that the new Nordic has to offer — from our special survey of contemporary Nordic art, Northern Exposure, to our brand-new core exhibition, Nordic Journeys, which takes visitors on a journey through 12,000 years of Nordic history.
The Ribbon Cutting Ceremony and community festival is free and open to the public: This includes daytime musical performances. Note: The festival and ribbon cutting will take place outdoors.
