National Nordic Museum in Seattle’s Ballard neighborhood presents Nordic history and culture, including the experiences of Nordic immigrants in the Pacific Northwest.
Its purpose-built museum on Northwest Market Street provides a setting for exhibitions, cultural programs and connections between regional and international stories.
Use the current Northwest Market Street visitor address and check the museum’s admission, opening days and exhibition calendar before traveling. Programs, guided experiences and special events may require separate reservations. The current building is distinct from the museum’s former schoolhouse location, so use up-to-date directions when planning arrival.
