The National Museums of World Culture, Cultural museum complex in Gothenburg, Sweden
Description
The National Museums of World Culture operates four museum institutions in Gothenburg dedicated to exploring and understanding cultures from around the world. Each venue displays collections from different regions and presents themes centered on human diversity and cross-cultural dialogue.
History
The complex was founded in 2004 as a response to growing demand for cross-cultural understanding and replaced an earlier ethnographic museum. This transition created a new approach to how the city presents and interprets world cultures to its visitors.
Culture
The museums present exhibitions exploring how cultures connect and communicate across borders and time. Visitors can observe how different regions express their values and ways of living through the displayed objects and spaces.
Practical
The museum location sits adjacent to the Universeum science center and is easily accessible by public transportation. Visitors should plan to spend several hours exploring the different exhibitions on display.
Did you know?
A 43-meter glass window allows passers-by to view the main exhibition hall from the street and creates a connection between the museum and public space. This open design makes culture visible and accessible to everyone passing by.
