The Museum Store goes online with the ultimate "Stay at Home" packages to make people feel a bit more hygge. This gift package featured a pound of our special-blend Nordic Spirit coffee, a brand new t-shirt design, and a copy of our latest issue of Nordic Kultur.

We have made the difficult decision to close the National Nordic Museum as of Saturday, March 14, and plan to remain closed until such time as it is safe to reopen. We will keep you informed through regular updates. And we are hopeful that we will be able to welcome you back to the Museum soon to celebrate and share all the offerings of the National Nordic Museum.

Please explore our online offerings for now.

Postponed March events, folk school classes, and programs will be rescheduled later in the spring. If other event times or dates change, we will send email notification to all pre-registered individuals as well as post on the calendar.

In 2020, the National Nordic Museum was honored by the Mid-Atlantic Association of Museums (MAAM) as a recipient for this year’s Museums Symposium’s Buildy Award

What's Christmas or afternoon coffee without cookies? These Princess Gems first appeared at the Museum's cookbook, Tasty Traditions, courtesy of Marianne Livingstone and Carina Halgren. Today Sharon Lucas and Gail Blaine, co-chair of Goodies2Go, recommend this recipe. The amazing volunteers of Goodies2Go baked this and other Nordic favorites to stock their famous table of treats at Julefest.

This traditional cookie makes a lovely addition to your fika at any time of the year.
