   National Nordic Museum

   Whether you’re here for a special exhibition, a community gathering, or to admire the award-winning architecture, the National Nordic Museum offers something for everyone. Located in the heart of Seattle’s Ballard neighborhood, it’s the city’s only national museum—celebrating the history and culture of Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, Sweden, and the Sámi people. Since opening its new home in 2018, the museum has become a vibrant hub for exhibitions, events, and programs that bring Nordic stories to life. And while you’re here, don’t miss Frankie the Troll—one of the six beloved Northwest Trolls (and a favorite with visitors of all ages). Grab a bite at Café Freya and explore our museum store filled with Nordic-made treasures and treats.
